(To the tune of “The Adventures of Barry McKenzie”)
The adventures of Bridget McKenzie
Dinky di tales of Coalition
Straight from the purse for marginal pollies
100 million worth of political sleaze
If you wanta get your bagmen in a frenzy
Introduce them to Bridget McKenzie!
She’s got a pollie’s grin and very thick skin
Show her a pig trough, she’ll be in like Flynn
Her staffers’ gall will overrule anyone
She’s got a political thirst, you can do your worst
When they tap McKenzie she’ll be in there first
It’s no use Barnyard, you’ll never win
She’s a better man than you are Gunga Din
Bridget… Bridget… Bridget…
The adventures of Bridget McKenzie
Dinky di tales of Coalition
Rolling pork was to be her mission
All a rich part of Nationals tradition
From the team that brought you Sir Robert Menzies
The Adventures of Bridget McKenzie!
There’s bowling club phonies and Sussan Ley’s ponies
A whole truckload of money to share with cronies
As she rushes in where ethics wouldn’t go
As minister for sport, she knew a good rort
When it came to dirty tricks, she was a good sort
For dodgy sporting grants she’ll carry the can,
And beat the bloody world if Genghis Khan
Bridget… Bridget… Bridget
The adventures of Bridget McKenzie
Dinky Di tales of Coalition
Forget the deserving, bugger the poor
She’s only one step from the acting PM’s door
If Sooty wants to see how his game ends he
Just has to look at Bridget McKenzie!
