Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

This operation’s high regarded

To fly the flag of diplomatic apparatus

Honoraries will seek what politics don’t know

While the taxpayer sleeps, destinies unfold

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight, no, no

So put the telephone on ice

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

A dotted line on the table

A bottle deep for the delegated label

Démarche the touch, majority is such

That cause, it may be willing, but never enabled

She’ll draw the line with no privilege to shine

She’ll cross the floor with no offering to speak for

A courtesy we will never display

Silently on our way

…happy to oblige you

I want a specific answer: did you read the documents?

I’m aware of the documents and I’ve made my claim, sir

And we make the claim to you now:

You did not read those documents before you made the assertion!

Well, Senator, that’s a pretty serious allegation

That’s exactly what I’m accusing you of!

We’re no stranger to what we want

'Cause we got diplomatic immunity

Ain’t no backbencher going to figure this out

Stolen sources won’t be calling me

Won’t be calling me

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

So put the telephone on ice

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

This operation’s high regarded

To fly the flag of diplomatic apparatus

Honoraries will seek what politics don’t know

While the taxpayer sleeps, destinies unfold

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

Canberra won’t be calling tonight, no, no

So put the telephone on ice

Canberra won’t be calling tonight

She don’t even know we’re on it

And that’s what we like

'Cause she knows that she’s not knowing

Can’t stop what she don’t sight

Bribery, we don’t need

'Cause the cabinet’s departed

So put the telephone on ice

Canberra won’t be calling tonight
