STIMULUS PACKAGE by John Dengate 2010 Tune: Fiddlers’Green
Chorus: Oh, I'm tired of the stimulus package, It's not stimulating at all; Wayne Swan's so depressing. I feel like undressing And dancing in George Street outside the town hall.
There should be a system imposing large fines For they keep on repeating the same bloody lines – Five minutes of Gillard requires six beers And damned Lindsay Tanner just bores me to tears.
Oh, where have the colourful characters gone? Kevin Rudd stands up and drones on and on – An hour-long lecture to him’s a brief chat… But he isn’t John Howard…I’m grateful for that…
Bring back Paul Keating and then let him loose; What parliament needs is some decent abuse – Some nasty invective with insults that bite, Some poisonous speeches with plenty of spite…
Notes Many thanks to John Dengate for permission to add this song to the Union Songs collection.
video-Fiddler's Green sung by author John Connolly As John said in 1989 in the Author's Ramblings in My Shout Again - I still refuse ti apologise fro pinching tunes. I wish it to be known I only pinch quality tunes.
