Ratpack Boogie Songtext
von John Edmond

Once three troopies from the double R
Were sitting in the bush with an old guitar.
They came up with a remedy
For graze that ain′t what it should be.

They did the rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie,
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright.
Rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie.
Shake up your dinner tonight.

The first trooper said "You know it aint too bad;
Just about the best meal I ever had.
I made chutney for my ham.
Put my bully beef and curry with my apricot jam."

They did the rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Rat pack boogie and you′ll be alright.
Rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight.


The second trooper said " My matches are wet.
I can't light a fire or a cigarette,
Ain't got salt and the sugar ain′t nice.
The only meat I see is the weevils in the rice".

They did the rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Rat pack boogie and you′ll be alright.
Rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight.

The third trooper said "Now ain't that a shame,
I′ve never been the one to complain,
Ain't no wonder that your belly gets sore,
The graze in the box is from the second world war."

Did the rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Rat pack boogie and you′ll be alright.
Rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie.
Shake up your dinner tonight.

Did the rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be allright.
Rat pack boogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight.
