Malcolm, Malcolm give us some answers do
We thought, you had principles, but I guess we hadn’t a clue
It seemed like a stylish marriage, leather jacket and gold carriage
But now your, not so sweet, upon that seat, with Pauline and Tony to

Malcolm Malcolm, the blue sweater is more your style
Mr Harbour Side Mansion, making money and flashy smile
Trusts and Cayman havens, reduced tax, with offshore trading
You slather your mates, reduce welfare rates, a right wing repertoire

Malcolm Malcolm, the vision you sold was a lie
Your born to rule mentality, is now well magnified
You sold us a pup for powe, as you climbed your way up the tower
As the walls cave in, you morph into spin, with shallowness quantified

Malcolm Malcolm, how far right, are you willing to go
To outflank Pauline, and appease your bed fellows
Refugees are now dispensable, your lack of caring, reprehensible
Your appeasement to win is such a sin, clearly you were all show

Malcolm, Malcolm you really are such a hack
Rupert’s lap dog, Mr Elite just spreading his crap
You spruik the coal companies message, attack renewable energy
You banker toff why don’t you piss off, and give us our future back

Malcolm, Malcolm give us some answers do
We thought, you had principles, but I guess we hadn’t a clue
It seemed like a stylish marriage, leather jacket and gold carriage
But now you're not so sweet, upon that seat, with Pauline and Tony too
