Victoria University College. Capping Carnival "G.G.". A Musical Extravaganza. [1929]

Act III — Song of the Meeow

Act III

Song of the Meeow.

If you want to study gastric humours,
Listen to experienced consumers,
Who are indirect heirs
To tigers and bears,
And scientific students of Internal affairs.
If you aspire to live to see a pension,
And to die a butter-ball,
Then kindly pay attention,
And we will briefly mention,
The recipe we favour most of all:

Chorus.
Forty-three New Zealand politicians;
One Administrator fairly new;
Add a cop or two,
As it pleases you;
Put 'em in an oven,
Where there's no one to govern;
Juicy missionaries from the Missions;
With officials in responsible positions;
They make a good alloy,
But what we most enjoy,
Is forty-three New Zealand politicians!
