Will you be able to take the danger?
Can you stand the heat?
Will the honourable member for Blackstown
Resume his f**in' 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
Gimme gimme bi-cameral legislature (x12)
