I call upon our Goddess of the Virtues to give us her well known rendition Of the old school song Oom-Pah-Pah! ...

Whether it's hidden, or whether it shows It's the same...oom-pah-pah! She was from the country, But now she's up a gum-tree She let a feller beat 'er, then lead 'er along What's the good o' cryin'?
