Lyrics:
Paul Keating: Hey, good evening, I'm Paul Pleased to meet you all You had some dinner to eat, now you got a good seat See, there's nothing wrong with being inner-city elite I'm the star of the show You prob'ly already know But if you're out of the loop, You'll be in need of the scoop, So let me recap so that you can recoup. I grew up on Bankstown bitumen Mum and Dad were down in the ditch and then They had a vision of a picture and The picture they drew - came true! It might have taken a while But they made quite a pile And the lesson was learned, penny saved, penny earned, But you might as well do it in style. I left school at fifteen Made the Labor scene I learned how to survive, Watched Whitlam thrive And I made the front bench in '75 Opposition was tough But when we'd suffered enough With steely looks, we overtook the schnooks And we shook the crooks out of cooking the books. I hate the Treasury jiggery-pokery I keep my money in a piggery locally It's funny but it's okely-dokely We made an accord - good Lord! Why be mercantile If you can't crack a smile? And if you're bringin' home the hog for the drover's dog, You might as well do it in style. Boys... Band: You might as well do it in style. [Saxophone solo] Keating: Perhaps you noticed the suit I think it makes me look cute A good couturier can have a lot to say And when you're in a Zegna then you're on your way I'm on my way to see Bob He's gonna give me his job He showed a lot of nous in Kirribilli House, he made a fealty deal to really douse my grouse. I've been a model of loyal bonhomie It's time to honour the deal he promised me Because I know he's a man of honesty I lent him my ears - for two years! That's why I dress to impress I'm on the road to success Hey Bobby J, get outta my way, I know the answer is... I know the answer is... I know the answer is... Bob Hawke: [Spoken] Aaaaauugrhhhh...
