| As it appears to us old fogeys | B |
| If you'll excuse the term that we adopt | C |

| We would not be too hard we know your task is | B |
| Sterner than we supposed when you set out | G |

| Please dropp 'shock tactics' and cut 'stunting' out | G |
| Try to avoid a batting ace with roots on | H |
| Like Don's to keep him at the crease old chap | I |
| Use only bowlers who can keep their boots on | H |
| And please please don't count too much on that cap | I |

| If you think it would make your prospects brighter | J |
| And help the boys to bring those Ashes back | K |
| We'll waive that rule about the player writer | J |
| So that you may consider using Jack | K |
| Take his advice my boy he knows the Aussie | B |
| And all his tricks So trusting you will be | B |
| On this day fortnight in a better 'possie ' | - |
| Your ever hopeful Auntie | B |
