Once three troopies from the double R
Were sitting in the bush with an old guitar
They came up with a remedy
For graze that ain't what it should be

They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight

The first trooper said "You know it aint too bad"
Just about the best meal I ever had
I made chutney for my ham
Put my bully beef and curry with my apricot jam

They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight

The second trooper said "My matches are wet"
I can't light a fire or a cigarette
Ain't got salt and the sugar ain't nice
The only meat I see is the weevils in the rice

They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight

The third trooper said "Now ain't that a shame"
I've never been the one to complain
Ain't no wonder that your belly gets sore
The graze in the box is from the second world war

Did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight

They did the rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Rat pack boogie and you'll be alright
Rat pack boogie woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie
Shake up your dinner tonight
