Election Day

Well there's big mobs of rough stuff
And slingin' of bulldust
As it draws close to election day, mate.
Oh, they're all really tryin'
And most of 'em's lyin'
To get us to vote for them, 'ey mate!

They're gonna halt this inflation
And fix up our nation
If they only did half what they say, mate,
We would all be in clover
The whole country over.
They're real full of promises, 'ey mate!

Oh, remember in drought
When the big frogs come out
Air conditioned the whole blasted way, mate,
As we battled in grief
And awaited relief
'Til the whole of our mob perished, 'ey mate!

[Instrumental]

Well they did raise the pension
But Lord, when you mention
The price rise in food ev'ry day, mate,
I don't know how they're livin'.
This land should be givin'
Our old folk a better deal, 'ey mate!

Yeah, those spruikers are tireless
That you hear on the wireless
With big mobs of nothin' to say, mate.
But we'll vote for some smarty
Who's leadin' some party
And hope that he does somethin', 'ey mate!

Well there's big mobs of rough stuff
And slingin' of bulldust
As it draws close to election day, mate.
Oh, they're all really tryin'
And most of 'em's lyin'
To get us to vote for them, 'ey mate!

[Instrumental]

[Spoken]
Ah This could be the best verse I think
[Sung]
Now if I were in power
I'd shorten the hours
And double our whole blasted pay, mate,
With a free beer ration
And a flamin' good bashin'
To the blighters who grizzled then, 'eh mate!

Yeah there's big mobs of rough stuff
And slingin' of bulldust
As it draws close to election day, mate.
Oh, they're all really tryin'
And most of 'em's lyin'
To get us to vote for them, 'ey mate!

[Spoken]
What do you reckon, 'ey mate? Hey!
