Tony Abbott was, for our sins, Australia’s 28th Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015. He is now an adviser to the UK Board of Trade. Lucky UK!


Can’t help himself – Bad Abbott
He’s running wild, lost control
It’s a shame to see that our poor country
Is governed by –   Bad Abbott

Says he’ll stop the boats, just to get the votes
Says those people smugglers must be stopped
But what’s far, far uglier – is his own budgie smugglers
Can’t help himself   –   Bad Abbott

Well it’s clear he isn’t … a suppository of all wisdom
But he’s a bottom feeder much in need of class
Well that ill-considered quote really hit a bum note
And it shows Bad Abbott talks out of his arse

Well he promised us that there’d be no cuts
To health, education, pensions or the ABC
Well if I may be so blunt, the man’s an utter conundrum
Can’t help himself   –   Bad Abbott

He ignored the facts with the carbon tax
And he’s an un-reconstructed misogynist
I’d be happier at least if he’d ended up a priest
But instead we got a      Bad Abbott
Yes my mind would be at peace if he’d ended up a priest
But instead we got a      Bad Abbott
