Little song about a man called Gough
|
and a little boy who wanted to be tarred with the same brush
|
He learnt Latin, held his head up high and he hated the
|
Liberals tho' he didn't know why
|
|
There were reasons - how long have you got?
|
There are always reasons - how long have you got?
|
|
The little boy he's on the stage tonight, his name is Anthony Hayes and he's doing alright
|
They both went to the same local Canberra school, but Stevie was nine in 1972
|
|
What a party - a big day for both of us
|
A big reason to party - a big day for both of us
|
|
Come over have dinner with me, we'll play chess and drink claret
|
Walk slowly down my little street, you can bring Margaret
|
|
November 11 was Armistice Day
|
A bushranger was slaughtered and Gough was betrayed
|
November 11 - he wouldn't survive the Governor General in '75
|
|
November 11 - a big day for all of us
|
I said November 11 - Ned Kelly died
|
Shame Fraser shame and we all cried
|
For you Gough you Gough you Gough
|
Edward Gough Whitlam
|
You Gough you Gough you Gough
|
Edward Gough Whitlam
|
|
Days of wine and roses, days of wine and roses
|
All the artists flew in and all the arseholes flew out in '72
|
For you Gough you Gough you Gough
|
Edward Gough Whitlam
