Away in a manger,
No quid for a bed.

The story:

We're talking about the 1950s, before Australia had decimal currency, when the slang term for an Australian pound was a 'quid'.

My brother Lesley was overheard by my parents singing
Away in a manger, no 'quid' for a bed....

The story became family folklore and we embarrassed Les every Christmas, begging him to sing it 'his way' over and over again...
