The songbooks haven’t been unpacked yet, and everything is a bit rushed, so I’ll just give you the opening verse and chorus of a song I wrote celebrating the Country Party (now the National Party). The other verses were about politicians who are now long-forgotten so you’ll just have to make up your own, if you can think of a good rhyme for “Anderson”

When I was young and easily led,
And all the go was baiting Reds,
I thought I’d take up kicking heads,
And join the Country Party
Chorus
Toora-loora-loora-loo
Horse and dog and kangaroo,
And if I was a thug like you,
I’d join the Country Party

As with Bobby, I hardly knew you, the original tune is an Irish anti-recruiting song, Join the British Army
