Could it be the third verse of God Save the King?

I was going to give the same answer.Sorry that's not correct.

Near enough. It's actually the 6th verse. Not that it's sung very much.
The verse reads: "Lord grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God Save the King."
Your turn to write the words.

What is the title of the Irish national anthem? The English one will do, although the Irish one is more common nowadays.

Piston?

Well, I looked it up and I don’t think I would have guessed.

No, I think a chocolate bar called Piston would lead to a lot of crude remarks, e.g. It tastes like a cat piston it.

When I was last out in Oz the note was called a "Budgie" because of it's colour. No idea about the other two unless chocolate budgies are tasty!

The relevant feature is not its colour.
Budgies taste like chicken but there's not much meat on the leg and they're difficult to stuff.

Does that relate to any of them?

Sounds as if you speak from experience. Royal Society for Preservation of Budgies (RSPB) should be informed of your misdemeanour.

It could do. Can I not make random guesses?
Anyway is that important or do I need to be deadly serious here?

Of course you can make random guesses, I often do..It could do. Can I not make random guesses?

It is neither important nor serious.
I can't always think of a humorous reply so sometimes you have to make do with a boring one (like this).
