I'M an M.P. Too

I'M an M.P. Too

Just like Paikea, Ratana, Omana,
Like those Maori Chiefs,
I'm an M.P., too, and P.M., too.
Just like Walter Nash, Bob Semple, Harry Combs,
Like those Labour boys,
I'm an M.P., too, and P.M., too.
When Parliament drags along and I get bored,
I will pack my bags and take a trip abroad.
And I'll wear morning suit, Homburg hat, bright red tie,
Which will go to prove
I'm an M.P., too, and P.M., too.

When the Treasury money lacks,
I'll increase the income tax,
And I'll be busy night and day.
I will be like Walter Nash
And gather in the people's cash.
I think I'll do it every day.

Just like Disraeli, Bill Massey, John A, Lee,
Like those ex-M.P.'s,
I'm an M.P. too, and P.M. too.
Just like Holyoake, Sullivan, Gooseman,
Like those Nationalists,
I'm an M.P. too, and JP.M. too.
Whenever I'm on the spot or in a fix,
I will put the blame upon the Bolsheviks.
And I'll have a big cigar, caviare, Buick car,
Which will go to prove, I'm an M.P. too, and P.M. too.
