Parliament Song

This ole house is getting shaky
This ole house is collecting mould
This old house just groans and trembles
And the members get so old,
This ole house is a getting feeble;
Just like Him it's had its day.
It's a getting ready to meet its fate.

The script writers wish to thank Misses Barbara Haldane, Jo Hirsh Beal, and Shona Gale for valuable secretarial work.

Chorus
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the members
Ain't got time to lock the door
Ain't got time to oil the voters
Nor to fill no empty seats
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
It's a getting ready to meet its fate.
This old fate.

This ole house is afraid of critics.
This ole house is afraid of facts
This ole house wants home and comfort
Rather than to face the axe.
This ole house was once quite useful
This ole house once did much good
Now it seems to be unable
To sort the trees out from the wood.
