A                   B 
Liitle song about a man named Gough 
      G                           D 
And a little boy who wanted to be tarred with the same brush 
A                          B 
He learned Latin, held his head up high 
       G                          D 
And he hated the Liberals but he didn't know why 
A          B            G                 D 
There were reasons     (how long have you got) 
There's always reasons (how long have you got) 
 
B 
Come over have dinner with me 
           G 
We'll play chess and drink claret 
B 
Walk slowly down my little street 
    G 
Can you bring Margaret

The little boy is on stage tonight 
His name is Anthony Hayes and he's doing alright 
They both went to the same local Canberra school 
But Stevie was nine in 1972 
 
What a party           (a big for all of us) 
We had reason to party (a big for all of us) 
 
Come over have dinner with me 
We'll play chess and drink claret 
Walk slowly down my little street 
Can you bring Margaret

Edward Gough Whitlam, Edward Gough Whitlam 
 
It's for you Gough, you Gough, you Gough 
 
Day's of wine and roses, days of wine and roses 
 
All the artists flew in, and all the arseholes flew out 
 
For you, you, you, Edward Gough Whitlam
