You Can Keep Your Leonardo
   
  (Many thanks to Lisa for these lyrics).
   
Yon: Okay, imagine Bono’s accent.
   
  She was born on the year of this country’s Federation,
  She lived as many years as,
  As we’ve had this current Parliamentary system.
  Her lifetime spanned the first 102 years,
  Of the Federal Government as we know it.
  We’ve been federated for as long as she was alive,
  The same number of years that she lived,
  Are the same number of years that we’ve had,
  A Federal government in the system that it now exists.
 
Scod: How long did you take to write that, Yon?
Yon: Long.
 
Scod: We were all born in the mud,
  And the crap and the sludge and the slime.
  And we ran with the rams,
  And we sang with the kookaburras.
 
Gatesy and Scod: If you run with the rams long enough,
  Then you start to appreciate art.
Scod: What would those Italians know about matters of the heart?
Gatesy and Scod: All those foreigners coming by boat,
  With their easels, their paints and their brushes.
Gatesy: They can keep their cuisine,
  'Cause nothing beats a good Aussie pizza.
   
Gatesy: Look, we put the egg on it, mate,
  That’s Aussie ingenuity.
 
Scod: Ladies and Gentlemen,
  Please welcome on chorus - Mr Morrie Fields!
 
Yon: (As Morrie Fields) You can keep your Leonardo,
  Us convicts have been working hard-o.
  Mona Lisa can frown,
  'Cause you Italian clowns can get out of it.
   
Scod: If you look at a Ken Done doona cover,
  With the colours so vibrant and furious.
  Soon to be the subject of a film by our great historian,
  Yahoo Serious.
 
Gatesy and Scod: And the vibrant colours of Jenny Key,
  And the vibrant colours of Whitely,
  And the vibrant colours constantly worn by Big Kev.
  All you foreigners comin' by boat,
  With your so-called "Wonders of the World".
Scod: Well, consider the wonder that Tonya Todman,
  Keeps in her... box.
   
Scod: Sorry, I just... we had an hour.
 
Yon and Scod: You can keep your bloody Leonardo,
  Us convicts have been working hard-o.
Yon: (As Morrie Fields) King David can go put some clothes on,
  And you can all get out of it.
   
  And also,
Yon and Scod: If King David was supposed to be small,
Yon: Then why did they make him so bloody big?
  Those Italians know nothing of scale,
  They couldn’t build a shed if their lives,
  Depended on it.
 
Gatesy: Everybody!
 
Tripod: You can keep your Leonardo,
  All us convicts have been working hard-o.
  King David can go put some clothes on,
  And you can all get out of it.
