One Day in Drouin

One day in Drouin Dorothy was born A child of the meadow Making dolls out of corn Running through the paddocks Can't be late for school Teacher is a tyrant He won't be taken for a fool Teacher left the room one day To chase off a wayward lamb Charlie grabbed the teacher's strap And threw it in the dam One day in Drouin Dorothy was born A child of the meadow Making dolls out of corn The fires of 39 were bad The boys fighting covered in soot Little Dot comes with mop and bucket Her best dress and barefoot She runs home to tell her mumma She's been fighting fires with the best Doris sees her sooty clothes Tells her off and shouts what's next One day in Drouin Dorothy was born A child of the meadow Making dolls out of corn Dorothy would marry Donald Children they'll have a few But first of all we'll marry In a church in East Kew House in Box Hill North 5 kids holidays at the beach Now she's a great and Gay Gamma She's got 10 of each One day in Drouin Dorothy was born A child of the meadow Making dolls out of corn
