Beaumont Rag Lyrics - Singles - Redgum

I am a wealthy barrister 

About 100 bucks a word 

I've got a plum stuck in my mouth 

I'm really such a 

Really such a turd 

I attended PAC 

I meet a wife at the prefects' ball 

I am the elder fotheringay 

And she was apprentice, 

She was apprentice whore 

I passed my matriculation 

Four Ds and a C 

Daddy bought be a Mercedes Benz 

And he bought me a law de' 

Bought me a law degree 

I voted for Mal Fraser 

Was the decent thing to do 

Was a vote against the communists 

And I hope that you did, 

Hope that you did too 

I love to read the bulletin and watch the ABC 

I love to wear by well-informed opinions constantly 

All my friends are professionals from polite society 

So come and sing the middle class Liberal 

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with me 

I bought a brand new Range Rover 

the outback is a lark 

I slip it into four-wheel drive 

At gates of national 

gates of national park 

Oh the working class are out of place 

when they are on strike 

I drive my Jag in circles 

Trying to knock them off their, 

knock them off their bikes 

I love to read the bulletin and watch the ABC 

I love to wear by well-informed opinions constantly 

All my friends are professionals from polite society 

So come and sing the middle class Liberal 

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with 

Come and sing the middle class Liberal 

I've got a home in Beaumont Rag with me
