Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIH JKLK LFBF MNLN OMIM FMIB PMQM| It was the Bondi golfing man | A |
| Drove off from the golf house tee | B |
| And he had taken his little daughter | C |
| To bear him company | B |
| Oh Father why do you swing the club | D |
| And flourish it such a lot | E |
| You watch it fly o'er the fences high | F |
| And he tried with a brassey shot | E |
| - | |
| Oh Father why did you hit the fence | G |
| Just there where the brambles twine | H |
| And the father he answered never a word | I |
| But he got on the green in nine | H |
| - | |
| Oh Father hark from behind those trees | J |
| What dismal yells arrive | K |
| 'Tis a man I ween on the second green | L |
| And I've landed him with my drive | K |
| - | |
| Oh Father why does the poor Chinee | L |
| Fall down on his knees and cry | F |
| He taketh me for his Excellency | B |
| And he thinks once hit twice shy | F |
| - | |
| So on they fared to the waterhole | M |
| And he drove with a lot of dash | N |
| But his balls full soon in the dread lagoon | L |
| Fell down with a woeful splash | N |
| - | |
| Oh Father why do you beat the sand | O |
| Till it flies like the carded wool | M |
| And the father he answered never a word | I |
| For his heart was much too full | M |
| - | |
| Oh Father why are they shouting 'fore' | F |
| And screaming so lustily | M |
| But the father he answered never a word | I |
| A pallid corpse was he | B |
| - | |
| For a well swung drive on the back of his head | P |
| Had landed and laid him low | M |
| Lord save us all from a fate like this | Q |
| When next to the links we go | M |
