Big Al, I've taken your advice (with apologies to Jed Lamb) ...
Come listen to a story bout a man named Jed
Poor fringe player, barely kept himself fed
And then one day he was shootin a game of pool
When up from the net come a bubblin rumour ...
Trade rumour, that is. Fools gold, don't believe
Well the first thing you know, young Jed's a thousand-aire
The teammates said "Jed you gotta move away from here"
Said "Adelaide is the place you ought to be"
So he loaded up the ute and moved to Aussie ...
South Aussie, that is. No swimmin pools, no movie stars
