Dorothy Gale, all freckled and pale Was asleep in her gingham print nighty When a ****** great twister enveloped the vista And blew like the good lord almighty It ripped up the grass and it took out the glass As it lifted the house from position And a blow to the head from the post of her bed Put young Dorothy out of commission
She awoke with a fright as she fell from a height Landing squarely on somebody's gran She emerged from indoors to a round of applause And her journey had surely began The people of Aus (because that's where she was) Gave her hazy but helpful directions She should hastily wander the road over yonder To reach Tony before the elections
So she took to the road from her former abode In her quest to get back to her folk She aquired some mates, all in similar straits Or the **** of a practical joke A man made of straw was quite hard to ignore With a lion quite lacking in guts And a fella whose skin was constructed from tin Held together with rivets and nuts
Such adventures they had, though I think you'll be glad That I've cut to the crux of the rhyme Where a meeting was set, their request would be met To meet Tony in ten minutes time They arrived and were greeted, quite comfortably seated It was then Mr Abbott appeared He regretted to say, to their growing dismay That their wishes had not all been cleared
"As I haven't a heart" he was heard to impart "then the tin man is leaving with jack" "And I'm gutless as well" he was careful to tell "So the lion can hurry on back" "And I've also no brain, so it's no once again" "But young lady, your problems are sorted" "You'll be locked up off shore for a month, maybe four "And by christmas, we'll have you deported"
