Found this while looking for something else.
It is an old song, Probably 40's or earlier.
by Flotsam and Jetsam

Learn how Lizzie met an Aussie
Told her girlfriend, Maryann
"Maryann, I've met a man...
Who says he is Australian."
"Fallen for 'im 'ave you Lizzie?"
Lizzie blushing, shook her head.
Said Maryann, "Don't think you can
Fool me." and then she said...

"Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, is 'e?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?
Is it because 'e is an Aussie...
That 'e keeps you busy, Lizzie?
Has 'e jazzy ways and does 'e
Make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, 'as 'e Lizzie?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?"

"Seems this digger likes my figure."
Lizzie then told Maryann
"Likes my ways and claims to think 'em
What these Aussies call 'Fair Dinkum'
Throws a fond eye talks of Bondai
And he's tried to kiss me twice
When I've said, 'No!' he's said 'Good oh!'"
Said Maryann, "How nice!"

"Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, is 'e?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?
Is it because 'e is an Aussie...
That 'e keeps you busy, Lizzie?
Has 'e jazzy ways and does 'e
Make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, 'as 'e Lizzie?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?"

Soon this wonder from down under
Got himself right down to biz.,
Lost no time in coaxing Liz
To promise that she would be his.
He being well worn, lived in Melbourne
So they sailed at once for there
And Maryann without a man
Repeats this maidens prayer...

"Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, is 'e?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?
Is it because 'e is an Aussie...
That 'e keeps you busy, Lizzie?
Has 'e jazzy ways and does 'e
Make you go all fuzzy wuzzy?
Got you dizzy, 'as 'e Lizzie?
Is 'e an Aussie, Lizzie, aye?"

Drat you NT! asked my expat husband if he knew this song, he remembers hearing when he was a kid and has done nothing but go around the house singing it all day. Seems to think it was played & sung by the Western Brothers.

I never heard it before so is your husband older than me.(69) ?
Says on the link that it was Flotsam and Jetsam, but probably many cover versions were done in those days.
Just thought you'd all like the 'Down Under' connotation.

I'll put the link on, there are thousands. e.g. "My babies gorn dahn the plughole."
