ONCE A JOLLY REBEL

by Judith Proctor

tune: Waltzing Matilda


Once a jolly rebel and his jolly spaceship,
Went out to blow up a Federation base,
And he sang as he laughed as he planted his explosives,
Who'll come a-rebelling out in space?
Who'll come a-rebelling?
Who'll come a-rebelling out in space?
And he sang as he laughed as he planted his explosives,
Who'll come a-rebelling out in space?

Down came the trooper with a brand new para-gun,
Down came the mutoids, one, two, three.
Where's that jolly detonator, you've got in your backpack?
You'll come a-rebelling along with me.
You'll come a-rebelling,
You'll come a-rebelling,
You'll come a-rebelling along with me,
Where's that jolly detonator, you've got in your backpack?
You'll come a-rebelling along with me.

Up sprang the rebel, and pressed the detonator,
You'll never take me alive, said he!
And his ghost may be heard as you pass that pile of rubble,
You'll come a-rebelling along with me!
You'll come a-rebelling,
You'll come a-rebelling,
You'll come a-rebelling along with me!
And his ghost may be heard as you pass that pile of rubble,
You'll come a-rebelling along with me!
