Will you be able to take the danger?
Can you stand the heat?
Will the honourable member for Blackstown
Resume his fuckin' seat?
It's in the parliamentary process
Whereto danger dwells:
A division that's required -
Ring the bells! Ring the bells!
Proportional representation
Really boils my blood -
All rise now for the entrance
Of the Usher with Black Rod.
'I warn the Honourable Member!'
The frantic speaker yells:
'I name the Honourable Member!'
Ring the bells! Ring the bells!
You can ring the bells, ring the bells!
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
You can ring the bells, ring the bells!
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
Don't gimme no Proletarian dictator
Questions without notice
Are burning in my soul -
A double dissolution
Leaves no time for rock 'n' roll.
'I'm a country member!'
Doug Anthony did yell.
Yeah mate, we remember -
Ring the bells! Ring the bells!
You can ring the bells, ring the bells!
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
You can ring the bells, ring the bells!
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
Gimme bi-cameral legislature
Don't gimme no Proletarian dictator
