A Change of Air

Now, a man in Oodnadatta

He grew fat, and he grew fatter,

  Though he hardly had a thing to eat for dinner;

While a man in Booboorowie

Often sat and wondered how he

  Could prevent himself from growing any thinner.

So the man from Oodnadatta

  He came down to Booboorowie,

Where he rapidly grew flatter;

  And the folk will tell you how he

Urged the man from Booboorowie

  To go up to Oodnadatta -

Where he lived awhile, and now he

  Is considerably fatter.
