[00:00:00] The Federal Two-Ring Circus - Redgum

[00:00:01] Written by：Michael Atkinson

[00:00:47] I've held the seat of bong bong now

[00:00:49] Since 1963

[00:00:52] With a well oiled tongue a makeup man

[00:00:54] And prime time A B C

[00:00:57] I used to be an auctioneer

[00:00:59] There's not much difference

[00:01:01] A haze of finance doctoring

[00:01:03] And verbal flatulence

[00:01:06] Electioneering's such a bore

[00:01:08] Three months of bending ears

[00:01:12] Thank christ I only see you yobbos

[00:01:15] Once every three years

[00:01:18] It's a federal two ring circus

[00:01:20] It's called democracy

[00:01:23] Two hundred clowns a dour M C

[00:01:25] And the queen's well heeled G G

[00:01:33] I'm women's advisor

[00:01:34] To the cabinet portfolios

[00:01:37] And every week I keep well briefed

[00:01:39] At tea with M S Buttrose

[00:01:42] Unemployment's falling

[00:01:45] We look to better days

[00:01:47] Because women in the workforce

[00:01:49] Are just a passing phase

[00:01:52] Let's get back to basics

[00:01:54] Experience has shown

[00:01:58] The heart is by the hearth

[00:01:59] A woman's place is in the home

[00:02:04] It's a federal two ring circus

[00:02:06] It's called democracy

[00:02:08] Two hundred clowns a dour M C

[00:02:11] And the queen's well heeled G G

[00:02:47] I'm a vestige of nobility

[00:02:49] Cognac and caviar

[00:02:52] SoirÉes at the racetrack

[00:02:54] And oration jocular

[00:02:56] I had a dream that

[00:02:58] Constitutional crisis

[00:02:59] Loomed again

[00:03:01] The C I A and history

[00:03:03] Hailed the rigors of my pen

[00:03:06] But I'd had one too many gins

[00:03:08] How they groaned behind my back

[00:03:12] I signed the papers upside down

[00:03:14] And gave myself the sack

[00:03:18] It's a federal two ring circus

[00:03:20] It's called democracy

[00:03:23] Two hundred clowns a dour M C

[00:03:25] And the queen's well heeled G G

[00:03:27] It's a federal two ring circus

[00:03:30] It's called democracy

[00:03:32] Two hundred clowns a dour M C

[00:03:34] And the queen's well heeled G G
