Barmy Army chants

[Callum McMillan]

Could someone please tell me some of those barmy army chants, like the one
that starts with "Mark Waugh's an aussie, he wears a baggy cap..."

I believe it is:

(to the tune of 'My Old Man's a Dustman')

Mark Waugh is an Aussie
He wears a baggie cap
And when he met the bookie
He said "I'm having that"
He shared it out with Warney
They went and bought some beers
And when the Aussie board found out
They covered up for years
