When the sweets of office dangle | A |
At a most inviting angle | A |
Be polite | B |
In the legislative struggle | A |
When in office safe you snuggle | A |
Then to jangle or to juggle | A |
Isn't right | B |
- | |
- | |
And O never never niggle | A |
Though the vulgar people giggle | A |
When they see a statesman wriggle | A |
To a place | C |
And I prithee never niggle | A |
With the man who stops to peddle | A |
For the act upon his head'll | A |
Bring disgrace | C |
- | |
- | |
And we ought to take a broad strong view | D |
What's the matter if the prospect isn't new | D |
There is virtue in the viewing | E |
When it comes to merely doing | E |
Well it's really not important what you do | D |
It's the view | D |
Grand view | D |
Never let the doing part embarrass you | D |
- | |
When in politics you dabble | A |
Then of course you'll have to babble | A |
To the vote possessing rabble | A |
'Tis the game | F |
When you engineer a shuffle | A |
The ensuing party scuffle | A |
Somebody is sure to ruffl | A |
All the same | F |
- | |
Then be wary do not temble | A |
Smile politely and dissemble | A |
Though your actions do resemble | A |
Somersaults | G |
When your legislative symbol | A |
Is the tricky pea and thimble | A |
Your manipulations nimble | A |
Are not faults | G |
- | |
- | |
But I charge you take a strong broad view | D |
It is most entrancing when you have the screw | D |
There's no need to be exacting | E |
In the manner of your acting | E |
'Tis the statesman's motto when dissensions brew | D |
Watch the view | D |
Wide view | D |
And your story of the sight will see you through | D |
- | |
When a banquet you've to tackle | A |
Where the ancient chestnuts crackle | A |
And you have to rise and cackle | A |
To your kind | H |
Mayhap some hiccoughing freak'll | A |
Rise and venturing to speak 'll | A |
Mention you as 'Misher Deakle | A |
Never mind | H |
- | |
- | |
Let your honeyed phrases trickle | A |
And defend the Fusion pickle | A |
Show them that you are not fickle | A |
In the least | I |
Say that why we do not muzzle | A |
Labor members is a puzzle | A |
And they'll cheer you as they guzzle | A |
At the feast | I |
- | |
- | |
And bid them take a broad strong view | D |
Bid them see around both corners same as you | D |
You're the saviour of the nation | J |
At a mayoral celebration | J |
If you do not harp too much upon the 'do ' | - |
Praise the view | D |
Grand view | D |
And they vow you are a stateman strong and true | D |
- | |
With this popular preamble | A |
You may then adroitly amble | A |
To the shocking party scramble | A |
Voice your fears | K |
Tell them Labor's sure to stumble | A |
If it does not cease to grumble | A |
And each alderman will mumble | A |
Glad 'Hear hears ' | - |
- | |
- | |
While the nuts they calmly nibble | A |
Let vague phrases gently dribble | A |
Give them any quip or quibble | A |
You're immense | L |
But ah prithee do not trifle | A |
With a hint of acts and stifle | A |
Any mention of a rifle | A |
Or defence | L |
- | |
- | |
For there's safety in the strong brod view | D |
The suppression of the hard strong 'do' | I |
Is a matter most essential | A |
When the Tory consequential | A |
Is the man you reckon on to see you thro' | D |
Boost the view | D |
Great view | D |
And they'll all begin to think they see it too | D |
- | |
Budding statesmen there is muckle | A |
In the View when you've to truckle | A |
To the crowd that will not buckle | A |
Into graft | I |
When your policy's a muddle | A |
And you're sailing in a puddle | A |
With a Fusion crowd that huddle | A |
On a raft | I |
Talk in vague unmeaning jingle | A |
For the crowd with which you mingle | A |
Holds within it scarce a single | A |
One who'll work | M |
Here where HANSARD's pages rustle | A |
Three a show of rush and bustle | A |
But there's ne'er a chance to hustle | A |
You must shirk | M |
Keep your eye upon the broad strong view | D |
Call the crowd's attention to it till you're blue | D |
Keep them watching intently | A |
And you can con ven i ently | A |
Hate the fact that you hvae nothing much to do | D |
Praise the view | D |
Fine view | D |
And they may forget to keep an eye on you | D |
