"Radical joins Conservative
In a concord wholly hearty,
Wanting to know if the State will give
An adequate wage upon which to live,
And so does the National Party.
"And the boots of the Labour Members creak
And a terrible ghastly pallor is
On the Wee Free face as it tries to speak;
But ah! what a change to each sunken cheek
If you put a bit more on our salaries!
