Beaumont Rag

I am a wealthy barrister
About 100 bucks a word
I've got a plum stuck in my mouth
I'm really such a
Really such a turd
I attended PAC
I meet a wife at the prefects' ball
I am the elder fotheringay
And she was apprentice
She was apprentice whore
I passed my matriculation
Four Ds and a C
Daddy bought be a Mercedes Benz
And he bought me a law de'
Bought me a law degree
I voted for Mal Fraser
Was the decent thing to do
Was a vote against the communists
And I hope that you did
Hope that you did too
I love to read the bulletin and watch the ABC
I love to wear by well-informed opinions constantly
All my friends are professionals from polite society
So come and sing the middle class Liberal
I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with me
I bought a brand new Range Rover
the outback is a lark
I slip it into four-wheel drive
At gates of national
gates of national park
Oh the working class are out of place
when they are on strike
I drive my Jag in circles
Trying to knock them off their
knock them off their bikes
(Chorus)
