Sweet Funny Adam.

There is a P.M. that nobody's ravin' for,
He's just a Scotty the workers aren't slaving for,
A t all garden parties no doubt he will be,
But Sweet Funny Adam means nothing to me.

(Chorus: Repeat.)

Now I am (here is) the leader the people are crying for,
And even although all the papers are dying for
(His) My/early demise; friends, you will agree
That Sweet Funny Adam means nothing to me.

(Chorus; Repeat.)

So friends and relations are all set to wear a smile,
And we'll build a nation that really will be worth while,
And soon they'll forget all this horrible fuss
For Sweet Funny Adam means nothing to us.

(Chorus: Repeat.)

be unnecessary now Adam is Dictator.

(All cheer and show approval. Song and Dance of Triumph by Chamber of Comics. Tune: "Swinging Annie Lautie.)

We'll take the imports, if you'll send the exports
And our profits will then grow much higher,
There'll be good times in store for honest business Men
And the bonny trading banks of New Zealand.

(Exit Chamber of Comics. Enter Messenger.)

Messenger

Leader, lender, urgent news'. A cable from the Imperial Government has just arrived by Baffin Bomber

Adam

(Opening cable and reading) To the Right Honourable Doormouse P.C., Primeminister of New Zealand:- In accordance with your suggestion we have recalled the Governor as from last week to enable you to appoint a home-grown oroduct, or other colonial goose.

(While he is reading, the Doormouse wanders on to the stage, hears the news, and runs off. At he conclusion of the speech the Messenger runs off crying "Colonial Goose for Governor!" etc.

Adam

Well, this is most disturbing'. The Doormouse must have made this request before he was dismissed.

(Enter crowd cheering. They are followed by Chamber of Comics, who look apprehensive. The Doormouse enters.)

Doormouse

People of Wonderland, let me introduce to you the new Governor of Wonderland. Now then!

(Fanfare of trumpets and the Mad Hatter enters in an elaborate and extravagant vice-regal costume. The crowd gasps - "The Mad Hatter" then bursts into wild cheering.)

Mad Hatter

My people of Wonderland. Now I'll make things hum. Now I'll make Wonderland a place fit for heroes to live in - a place flowing with milk and honey to stickey for Adam and all his kites and buzzards.

White Rabbit

But Adam has promised to life the import restrictions. You'll do that won't you?

Mad Hatter

Lift them? Lift them? Not bloody likely! He has no authority here. The Doormouse is my Prime Minister. (Cheers) And I'll tell you why. It's because Sweet Funny Adam means nothing to me!

(Song by Mad Hatter and Chorus - "Sweet Funny Adam Means Nothing to Me.")
