16. Cape Cod Girls Ain't Got No Combs.

Haul away! Haul away!
Comb their hair with codfish bones.
And we're bound away for Australia!

This is what I know about MA.

Well, I also know that the Union Oyster House is Boston's oldest restaurant. I had a menu from it dating back to the 1950s, that was in a travel journal of a kid I found at an estate sale. Last time I was in Boston, I swopped that menu for dinner for four there, and paid only the prices in the old menu. A fair dinkum trade, I believe, to continue the reference to Australia in the song.
