1965-2000 - Liberal Leaders
Since Robert Menzies gave up power
Liberal leaders changeD on the hour.
But if pushed right to the border
Would you know their shuffling order?
What Australia needs is censors,
Is the theme of Robert Menzies.
I'd follow the Yanks with a blindfold,
Is the cry of Harold Holt.
I hate McMahon with every neuron,
Is the short song of John McEwen.
My bad tongue I gotta shorten,
Is the brave admission of Johnny Gorton.
I let in the hordes of Genghis Khan,
Is the sad little moan of Billy McMahon.
My balloon is a wee bit leaden,
Is the swan song of Billy Snedden.
Life was meant to be lived in a blazer,
Is the misconstrued message of Malcolm Fraser.
We will now try not to sleepwalk,
Is the entreaty of Andrew Peacock.
I'll show the unions I'm no coward,
Is the refrain from Johnny Howard.
I forgot how to be firm,
Says Andrew Peacock in his second term.
My stiff shirt I will not loosen,
Says the proclamation of John Hewson.
Here comes the candle to light you to bed,
Here comes the next one to kick in your head
