The Federal Two-Ring Circus - Redgum[00:00:00]

Written by：Michael Atkinson[00:00:01]

I've held the seat of bong bong now[00:00:47]

Since 1963[00:00:49]

With a well oiled tongue a makeup man[00:00:52]

And prime time A B C[00:00:54]

I used to be an auctioneer[00:00:57]

There's not much difference[00:00:59]

A haze of finance doctoring[00:01:01]

And verbal flatulence[00:01:03]

Electioneering's such a bore[00:01:06]

Three months of bending ears[00:01:08]

Thank christ I only see you yobbos[00:01:12]

Once every three years[00:01:15]

It's a federal two ring circus[00:01:18]

It's called democracy[00:01:20]

Two hundred clowns a dour M C[00:01:23]

And the queen's well heeled G G[00:01:25]

I'm women's advisor[00:01:33]

To the cabinet portfolios[00:01:34]

And every week I keep well briefed[00:01:37]

At tea with M S Buttrose[00:01:39]

Unemployment's falling[00:01:42]

We look to better days[00:01:45]

Because women in the workforce[00:01:47]

Are just a passing phase[00:01:49]

Let's get back to basics[00:01:52]

Experience has shown[00:01:54]

The heart is by the hearth[00:01:58]

A woman's place is in the home[00:01:59]

It's a federal two ring circus[00:02:04]

It's called democracy[00:02:06]

Two hundred clowns a dour M C[00:02:08]

And the queen's well heeled G G[00:02:11]

I'm a vestige of nobility[00:02:47]

Cognac and caviar[00:02:49]

SoirÉes at the racetrack[00:02:52]

And oration jocular[00:02:54]

I had a dream that[00:02:56]

Constitutional crisis[00:02:58]

Loomed again[00:02:59]

The C I A and history[00:03:01]

Hailed the rigors of my pen[00:03:03]

But I'd had one too many gins[00:03:06]

How they groaned behind my back[00:03:08]

I signed the papers upside down[00:03:12]

And gave myself the sack[00:03:14]

It's a federal two ring circus[00:03:18]

It's called democracy[00:03:20]

Two hundred clowns a dour M C[00:03:23]

And the queen's well heeled G G[00:03:25]

It's a federal two ring circus[00:03:27]

It's called democracy[00:03:30]

Two hundred clowns a dour M C[00:03:32]

And the queen's well heeled G G[00:03:34]
