They're out on the hustings trying to garner a vote
They're all full of those tired old candidate quotes
They're telling us what they'll do for the electorate
Their policy platforms shall be subject to our debate

Just this week they've promised the electorate everything
Yet there is little substance to the songs they sing
The clock quickly counts down to election day
That's when us intelligent voters shall have our final say

We're sizing up the best of a bad bunch for a win
If he let's us down we'll remove his winning grin
A term in office is all he'll be receiving from us
So lets hope he's got the right motor in his bus

The rhetoric is freely flying around our state seat
Though not much of it has a well regulated beat
The candidates are all on notice at the May poll
That's when we'll see which heads will go for a roll
