Subject: RE: Mudcat Australia/NZ Songbook
a blast from the past. I was looking thru an email folder of songs friends sent me
A song from the late Ozcatter Rowan 15/4/10.
There you go, Sandra; a companion song to Cathy's "Precious Gift" (aka "The Tony Abbott Song") Precious Gift was posted by me 29 Sep 20 - 11:31 AM on page 7.
TONY ABBOTT IS 'ALL SMUGGLER AND NO BUDGIE'
Tune: Across the Western Plains I must wander, Across the Western Ocean I must wander, and All for me grog
Oh my name is Tony Abbott, I was once a randy rabbit but now I'm Leader of The Opposition So now I pontificate on every woman's sexual fate and I'm often asked to make a proposition.
I joined the seminary but obedience was too scary so I went and joined the local Liberal Party I became John Howard's man though his policies didn't scan and I thought myself a right political smarty.
A young bloke that I knew, he was in the media crew I had thought to be the offspring of a screw, boys I had had a brief liaison, as a young man with emission but it turned out other cuckoos were in season.
In an interview one day I gave restraint a little spray but applied it only to young women Their virginity's a gift that should not be lightly left' but young men I never even mentioned.
I'm in a surfing club and I wear their uniform showing off my pecs and wearing budgie smugglers I ride my racing bike and do "Iron Mans' if I like and in politics I'm best of all the jugglers.
But when it comes to "walk the walk" not just talking only talk the voters are so critical with their judging. I make statements every day but give policies? "No way!" "Tony Abbott is 'all smuggler and no budgie!'"
After the Hymn Singing Session at the 2010 National Folk Festival I overheard someone comment about the lack of policy substance in Tony Abbott's then recent statement on Health Policy. The immediate riposte from the other party to the conversation was "Tony Abbott is 'all smuggler and no budgie!'" I thought it too good to let slide unrecorded.
