Historical Revisionism

Scrutineer:

The '96 election is still hanging by a thread

The last of the electorates will bring it to a head

One tiny booth in Surry Hills has not returned it's choice

Is it Keating? Is it Howard? Let your verdict find it's voice...

Band:

Keating, Keating, Keating...

Scrutineer:

The same name just keeps repeating

Band:

Keating, Keating, Keating...

Paul Keating:

I can feel my heart start beating

Band:

Keating, Keating, Keating...

Howard:

No way! That's wrong! That's cheating!

Band:

Keating, Keating, Keating, KEATING, KEATING, KEATING, KEATING!

Keating:

I thought no victory could be sweeter

I thought no day could dawn so bright

I thank my lovely wife, Annita

She's been out the back all night

Don't need no glorious procession

Don't need no streamers to be tossed

Just wanna hear this man's concession...

Howard:

Well, I'm sorry...

That I lost!

Keating:

And I am the boss!

'Cos I am the ruler of the land

They tell me I'm the man

Band:

Who da man?

Keating:

Who da man?

Band:

You da man!

Keating:

Yes I am!

I am the ruler of the land

They tell me I'm the man

Band:

Who da man?

Keating:

Who da man?

Band:

You da man!

Keating:

I am,

I am,

I am!

All:

KEATING!
