Gough

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 didnt know why
There were reasons - how long have you got?
There are always reasons - how long have you got?
The little boy hes on the stage tonight, his name is
Anthony Hayes and hes 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, well 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 wouldnt 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
