Some claim that newpapers are dead,
But a trustworthy banker has said,
That his sword met a pen,
Which beat him and then,
Pushed our state into the red.

“Garth’s coming!” the plain people cried,
“For five nights!” that cowboy replied,
But it wasn’t to be,
He could only have three,
And that was how the music died.

At the end of the games in Brazil,
There’s a big pair of boots left to fill,
We need a new bloke,
Who can say “Okey Doke”,
To the panel, just like good old Bill.

The people in charge of dance say,
They’re sorry, but there is no way,
You can put on the ritz,
In a blizzard of glitz,
If it looks even just a bit gay.

[New Labour leader Joan Burton and Eamon Gilmore and new deputy leader Alan Kelly with Joan Burton at the Mansion House this afternoon]
The comrades have called upon Joan,
To rise up and sit on the throne,
She’ll have a quick scuffle,
Over the reshuffle,
And then she can reap what she’s sown.

Make sure that tonight you don’t see,
Any more than two hours of TV,
Because sitting around,
Might put you in the ground,
So spend the time on your PC.

I’m delighted to hear that young Ming,
Is going to keep all of the bling,
It’s his contribution,
To the revolution,
What a noble and generous thing.

Let all honest people proclaim,
That it’s always a heartbreaking shame,
To see neighbours let,
Two balls into their net,
While playing their own bloody game.

Let’s don stupid hats for the day,
When Mulligan slagged the late May,
Then Steve went to school,
And got paid by a fool-
I gave up there, that’s all I can say.

That diligent judge, Mr Cooke,
Was instructed to take a good look,
And try to trace back,
Any source of a hack,
But he found no sure sign of a crook.
