Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEEGHEEIII JEEEKLKLEMEJENNMMM| The throstle now in English lanes | A |
| Bids Summer strew her dear delights | B |
| But we intent on cricket gains | A |
| Watch well our valiant willow knights | B |
| With eager eyes on cabled news | C |
| We watch each bravely mounting score | D |
| With ears half frozen we refuse | C |
| To go to bed but crane for more | D |
| From out the ether as we sit | E |
| And 'listen in ' tho' midnight's gone | F |
| While glorious centuries they hit | E |
| And if it isn't Bradman it's Ponsford | E |
| and if it isn't Ponsford it's Woodfull | G |
| and if it isn't Woodfull it's McCabe | H |
| and if it isn't McCabe it's Chipperfield | E |
| and if it isn't Chipperfield | E |
| Gosh Can this sort of thing go on | I |
| Our hope lies not alone in Don | I |
| Others remain to carry on | I |

| The Merry Mavis fluting free | J |
| In England now by wood and weald | E |
| Calls from the edge of Arcady | E |
| But as our bowlers take the field | E |
| We mark them with a mental eye | K |
| Striving against the mimic foe | L |
| Despite one Shaw Let Mavis cry | K |
| The foolish fowl We see them mow | L |
| The wickets down this way and that | E |
| Turning the ball Rare joy we sup | M |
| To mark their cunning beat the bat | E |
| And if it isn't Wall it's O'Reilly | J |
| and if it isn't O'Reilly it's Grimmett | E |
| and if it isn't Grimmett it's Fleetwood Smith | N |
| and if it isn't Fleetwood Smith | N |
| Oh Gosh Can our men keep this up | M |
| The Test Alas what bitter cup | M |
| Hey Shut that kookaburra up | M |
