Once a merchant banker squatted up in Canberra
He was as liberal as Liberals could be
And he sang as he watched and waited for his NEG to boil
This country needs cheaper energy

Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
And he sang as he watched and waited for his NEG to boil
This country needs cheaper energy

Down came consultants to drink from an open trough
Up jumped the banker to greet them with glee
You’ll get rewarded if you guide me through this labyrinth
This country needs cheaper energy

Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
You’ll get rewarded if you guide me through this labyrinth
This country needs cheaper energy

Up jumped a rival, angered by a scrambled NEG
Up jumped supporters, all forty three
We’re off to the party room to sort out the leadership
This country needs cheaper energy

Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
We’re off to the party room to sort out the leadership
This country needs cheaper energy

Up jumped the banker and leapt into his limousine
You’ll never get me by vote said he
And a voice may be heard as you walk near a Wall Street bank
Australia needs cheaper energy

Photo-voltaics, photo-voltaics
Batteries and hydro are where we should be
And a voice may be heard as you walk near a Wall Street bank
Australia needs cheaper energy

Post-script or post-tweet?

Down came the scribblers writing up the banker’s rage
Murdoch and Stokes were bad as could be
They conspired through their media to really do him in
That is the truth – from your ABC
