Smothered in Vegemite spread
I am a sandwich for two
Dinkum from toenails to head

Here in your rusty tin shed
Lay me in hay for a screw
Smothered in Vegemite spread

Prove you’re a real thoroughbred
Drown me in dodgy home brew
Dinkum from toenails to head

If I don’t tickle you red
Dream I’m a small kangaroo
Smothered in Vegemite spread

Down in the dried up creek bed
Crickets are crooning “True Blue”
Dinkum from toenails to head

One day soon, when we are wed
I’ll bring my mum to bed too
Smothered in Vegemite spread
Dinkum from toenails to head

Can't get much cleaner on syllable count or form than this.

An stodgy,

Would a platypus suit you better? It doesn't rhyme, of course.

i believe vegemite is the equivalent to the british marmite?
i love it.

Technically -- although Marmite is the poor cousin to Vegemite, which is awesomely brilliant (and Americans hate it, which we consider an added bonus)

When you say poor cousin, do you mean in terms of how they taste? I can't agree or disagree as I have only ever tasted marmite. I did not know that americans hate it as you say they do, but it if they do, then how ironic as vegemite is owned by an american company.

Vegemite is a completely Australian invention but sooner or later every successful idea ends up in the hands of an American corporation -- just recently it was actually illegal to send Vegemite into the US because the FDA considered it a therapeutic product that they couldn't regulate (it's one of the best sources of Vitamin B complex). It's kind of like Marmite, in the same way that Hershey's is kind of like real chocolate -- in theory. Marmite is ok, but Vegemite is a salty, savoury delight.

The 'roo is fine. The platypus has that dangerous claw thing!

Oh I can appreciate this, yes, savoury and delicious.

Vegemite rocks.

Vegemite is made for licking.
