Redgum - Beaumont Rag lyrics

rate me

I am a wealthy barrister

About 100 bucks a word

I've got a plum stuck in my mouth

I'm really such a

Really such a turd

I attended PAC

I meet a wife at the prefects' ball

I am the elder fotheringay

And she was apprentice,

She was apprentice whore

I passed my matriculation

Four Ds and a C

Daddy bought be a Mercedes Benz

And he bought me a law de'

Bought me a law degree

I voted for Mal Fraser

Was the decent thing to do

Was a vote against the communists

And I hope that you did,

Hope that you did too

I love to read the bulletin and watch the ABC

I love to wear by well-informed opinions constantly

All my friends are professionals from polite society

So come and sing the middle class Liberal

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with me

I bought a brand new Range Rover

the outback is a lark

I slip it into four-wheel drive

At gates of national

gates of national park

Oh the working class are out of place

when they are on strike

I drive my Jag in circles

Trying to knock them off their,

knock them off their bikes

I love to read the bulletin and watch the ABC

I love to wear by well-informed opinions constantly

All my friends are professionals from polite society

So come and sing the middle class Liberal

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with

Come and sing the middle class Liberal

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with me
