Yesterday in parliament
|
You got the honourable this
|
The honourable that, and
|
Nothin' so eloquent
|
As a little bit of mis-
|
Understanding, and a lot of chat
|
Something you wanna say?
|
Don't address it to me
|
You gotta see your MP
|
He's gonna to take up your case today
|
Do civilised people always act this way?
|
|
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.
|
|
Oh yesterday in parliament
|
We got shoutin' down the front
|
And shoutin' up the back an'
|
Come on gentlemen, settle down at the front
|
Sit down at the back
|
' There's something you wanna say?
|
Well address it to the House in the usual way
|
I know you want to have some fun
|
But civilised people ought to get things done.
|
|
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.
|
|
Blame Jesus for all the trouble in the world today
|
Blame anybody you like
|
But don't blame the government of the day.
|
|
Oh yesterday in parliament
|
We got rhetoric elective, a little bit of cynicism
|
Nothing heaven sent
|
Just a mere hint of socialism, lotta conservatism
|
' Nothing I wanna say
|
To make any changes let's keep it this way
|
There's nowhere I wanna go
|
I'm enjoying my breakfast and this radio show.
|
|
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.
|
|
INSTRUMENTAL
|
|
There's nothing I wanna say
|
To make any changes let's keep it this way
|
There's nowhere else I wanna go
|
I'm enjoying my breakfast and this radio show.
|
|
Ha ha , ha ha, ha ha, ha ha
|
da da da, da da da da da
|
da da da, da da da da
|
da da da, da da da da da
|
(and fade).
