A B Little song about a man called Gough
G D And a little boy who wanted to be tarred with the same brush
A B G He learnt Latin, held his head up high and he hated the
D Liberals tho' he didn't know why
A B G D There were reasons - how long have you got?
A B G D There are always reasons - how long have you got? [Verse 2]
A B G D The little boy he's on the stage tonight, his name is Anthony Hayes and he's doing alright
A B G D They both went to the same local Canberra school, but Stevie was nine in 1972
A B G D What a party - a big day for both of us
A B G D A big reason to party - a big day for both of us [Chorus]
A B G D Come over have dinner with me, we'll play chess and drink claret
A B G D Walk slowly down my little street, you can bring Margaret
