I had this LP in my parent's house growing up in the 60's and remember it well. Hilariously funny songs and emotive australian classics make an unforgettable collection. I hope it's available as a CD somewhere.
For example, The court of King Caractacus builds like a 12 Days of Christmas in a simple tonic-subdominant-dominant-tonic refrain:
Now the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.
(All together now) the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.
[Repeat 2 more times times]

Now the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.
[Repeat 4 times]
Now the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.
[Repeat 4 times]
Now the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stiches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus, were just passing by.
[Repeat 4 times]
Now if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintilating stiches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Catactacus...
...you're too late! Because they've just... passed... by!
