Canberra Won’t Be Calling Tonight

[Sample: Parliamentary soundbite]
Order! Order! The Member for Corio is named
Order! The Member for Corio will remove himself under Standing Order 94a

[Intro: Client Liaison]
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

[Verse 1: Client Liaison]
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

[Chorus: Client Liaison]
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

[Verse 2: Client Liaison]
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

[Interlude: Kim Carr & Scott Morrison]
...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!

[Bridge: Client Liaison]
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

[Verse 3: Client Liaison]
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

[Chorus: Client Liaison]
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

[Outro: Client Liaison]
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
