Bern raced to his mother who was standing by Ted's gate, They started shouting foul abuse, and have long to wait. The front door opened and old Ted came into view, He looked them up and down and "Now who the hell are you?"

Their eyes were fixed together as she cried, "Please a heart." Then Bernie said, "Of I will, just jump up on the cart." And as they drove off hand in hand, mum went up to Ted, "Forget the past, let's them!" So the four of them were wed.
All to Bernie...(Bernie)... And he drove the dust cart in the west!
