The Drover's Dog
When I was born at a very young age
The bible opened at a crucial page
I saw my future like a vision from god
Two bushy brows and a drovers dog
And everyone said, poor bugger me
He'll become the ruler of the whole country
- And everyone said, poor bugger me
- He'll become the ruler of the whole country
I went to school and I got full marks
So I toddled off to Oxford with the ruling class
I wore clean flannels and a lecherous leer

- He studied economics and he drank bulk beer

The Pentagon rang so I sank in the boot
cause I dont need ANZUS or kiwi fruit
- He doesn't need ANZUS or kiwi fruit
I serve as Reagans deputy
That's why I am governing the whole country
- I serve as Reagans deputy
- That's why I am the ruler of the whole country
So party faithful wherever you may be
If you want to bark from the top of the tree
There's only room for one dog here
I'll piddle on your head if you get too near
- He'll piddle on your head if you get too near
So mind your business in respect of me
Or I'll cancel your bi-centenary
- So mind you business in respect of he
- While he carries on with governing the whole country
