Robbed a Matilda

For a laugh.

I wrote this because I thought it would be a funny way to express my concern about the rising price of petrol and cause I thought it was a little bit clever.
These days I don't have to worry that much about petrol prices - I need to find myself another car first.

Hope today's writing gives you a giggle.

Robbed a Matilda
(words to the tune of Waltzing Matilda)

Once a V8 driver stopped at a petrol pump
saw fuel was priced at a dollar and three
and .. he cried as he threw his carkeys in the nearest bin,
"I can't afford to go driving" said he

As he walked down the road to protest all the petrol hikes
a beautiful girl stopped to give him a ride
they ... fell in love and to-day's economy
forced them to be the next Bonni and Clyde

They robbed a Matilda, robbed a Matilda
they robbed a Caltex and then a BP
and they laughed as they drove away with their car full of fuel . .
"we can buy food now the petrol is free!"

For over a year they drove around stealing fuel
saved for a house, even bought a new car
and ... they first time they paid for petrol since they fell in love
they wished they had bought a 4 cyl-in-da!

So they ... robbed a Matilda, robbed a Matilda
they robbed a Caltex and then a BP
and they laughed as they drove away with their car full of fuel . .
"we can buy food now the petrol is free!"

When they were caught and charged with all the petrol runs
they knew the free fuel had come to an end
but to their suprise, their convictions had been overturned
so he slapped her ass and said "let's go again"

So they ... robbed a Matilda, robbed a Matilda
they robbed a Caltex and then a BP
and they laughed as they drove away with their car full of fuel . .
"we can buy food now the petrol is free!"

Don't sing this song while putting petrol in your car
don't do what they did, don't try this rort
but should you decide to try and drive away with fuel
take off your plates and it's hard to get caught
