Arthur Fadden and then John Curtin

Forde for a week when he died

Ben Chifley and back to Menzies

16 years is a long time

 

PM’S PM’s PM’s PM’s

Australia’s had twenty five PM’s Prime Ministers

PM’S PM’S PM’S PM’s

Australia’s had twenty-five PM’s

In ’66 Harold Holt replaced Menzies

In ’67 McUwen replaced him

The saddest exit of a Prime Minister

 

Harold Holt was lost in the swim

Gorton, McMahon and then Whitlam

Then Mal Frazer in 75

Poor old Malcom lost his trousers

Bob Hawke bought back Labour to life

 

Paul Keating tried ruling Australia

Now John Howard has the key

After so many men as leaders

Let’s have a woman, very soon please

 

PM’S PM’s PM’s PM’s

Australia’s had twenty five PM’s Prime Ministers

PM’S PM’S PM’S PM’s

Australia’s had twenty five PM’s
