1916-1954 - The Strange History Of The Liberal Party1. In nineteen sixteenWith Labor in power, Weedy PM Hughes, Is stud of the hour. There follows a blue, Hughes breaks with Labor Starts his own bloodline, The Nationalist caper. Its members trot in, All ex-Labor smarties, Or from the Free Trading And Protectionist parties. By Hughes out of Labor, As a matter of course, The Nationalists become A Federal force. 2. It's some years later,Labor's once more in power, This time it's PM Lyons Whose stud dreams turn sour. Treasurer though he be, He sobs into his fists, Gets up one morning and Joins the Nationalists. The Nats he rebreeds Enthusiastic and hearty, Into the United Australia out of Nationalists out of Labor Party. 3. Lyons wins Government,Shores his defences, But his big job's still pinched By ambitious young Menzies. But once war begins Menzies loses control, And has four years to plan A new party and goal. So at Albury In speech pert and tarty, He launches the Liberal Out of United Australia out of Nats out of Labor Party. 4. Inside Evatt's Labor,Bart Santamaria Now feels that the Communists Are the chappies to fear. So with RC Groupers, He splits Labor in two, Breeds the Democratic Labor Party Out of Labor Party anew. But Menzies is too strong, Santamaria too right, So Libs and DLP Never come to unite. Which is quite a pity Since each party phalanx Needs, now and then, traitors To freshen its ranks.
