Aw, chuck the mail bags over there,       It`s great to have `em brought by air;   But, now they`re here, just sling `em round,   Out anywhere, upon the ground. I`ll pick `em up an` make full speed Soon as me `orse `as `as a feed.   Delays don`t count in this fair clime;   This is the land o` Lotsertime. I `ear `ow Europe`s gone fair mad       On speed.  But I`m like my ole dad.   The things a man don`t do today   He does termorrer, anyway. So wot`s the odds!  This speed`s all tripe. Wait on until I light me pipe.   A spell for yarnin` ain`t no crime;   This is the land o` Lotsertime. The Melbourne cockies, they don`t care.       There`s always `eaps o` time to spare.   They ain`t air-minded like yous blokes   From Europe, or them Yankee folks. Why should we be, when all is said? When coves dies they`re a long time dead.   Why worry while the crops is prime?   This is the land o` Lotsertime. So, sling the mail bags over `ere.       I`ll fill me pipe again an` clear.   I hold one record, `t any rate;   I always gets there, soon or late. The mail gets thro`, dry stage or wet; An` fire or flood ain`t beat me yet.   Our troubles `ow speed records climb   In this `ere land o` Lotsertime.
