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

Didn't know why

There were reasons - how long have you got?

There are always reasons - how long have you got?

The little boy'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, can you 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

November 11 - Ned Kelly died, ahh shame Fraser shame and we all cried

For you Gough you Gough you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam

You Gough you Gough

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...
