The Budget Day Song

Lock up your wallets, hide them away
Government's coming to harvest your pay
It's a recession, but it's OK
IT'S BUDGET DAY TODAY!

"We've got to be tough," Wayne Swan will say
It's on his mind, and boy does it weigh
Parly tonight, he'll start a melee
IT'S BUDGET DAY TODAY!

Pensions will go up, that's a hooray
Parental leave rocks, we've got to say
Build infrastructure, yes that's the way
IT'S BUDGET DAY TODAY!

Mining boom's over, China says nay
They're back to making soldiers from clay
But we'll retain jobs, come now what may
IT'S BUDGET DAY TODAY!

Deficit's growing, it's here to stay
There's no more handouts with which to play
Bet Howard's happy he's out of the fray
'CAUSE IT'S BUDGET DAY TODAY!

Everybody!

YES, IT'S BUD....GET... DAY....

You try finding a rhyme for "200-billion-dollar revenue writedown", folks!

TO....DAAAAAYYYYY!
