GOLDBERG AND SOLOMON, EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT!

Goldberg and Solomon wrote some remarkable operas, but none more remarkable than the infamously famous "MEKANDO", published only a short time ago and playing to booked out capacity houses in the nation's capitol Canburyitall.

[Sung by COOKED IT UP:]

As some day it will happen that a victim has been found
We've got a little list - we've got a little list
Of political offenders who have been well underground
And who never have been missed - who've never ever been missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who want all policies changed -
All people who have flabby minds and pathetic allied friends -
All failures in their 'rithmetic and leave you stricken dumb -
All persons who with shaking hands, shake hands with you like that -
And all third parties who spoiling fun insist -
They'd none of them be missed - they'd none of them be missed!

[Chorus]

We've got 'em on our list - we've got 'em on our list
And they'll all of them be gone - they'll all of them be gone

[COOKED IT UP]

There's the siren song soprano and the others of her ilk
And the yes-people chorus - we've got them on our list!
And the people who smoke weed and blow it in your face
They'll all be sadly missed - they certainly will be missed!
Then the morons all who praise, with pathetic monotone
All decades gone but this and their country barring all;
And the pollies from the provinces, who can't see beyond their nose
And who do rain dances, but the moisture will not fall;
And that singular anomaly, the polly from outfield -
They'll certainly not be missed - they'll certainly not be missed!

[Chorus]


We've got 'em on our list - we've got 'em on our list
And they'll all of them be gone - they'll all of them be gone

[COOKED IT UP]

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife
The Judicial humorist - we've got them on our list!
All funny fellows, comic folks, and clowns of private life -
They'll none of them be missed - they'll none of them be missed
And pathetic so-called statesmen all of compromising kind
Such as - what d'ye call them - thing'em bob, and likewise -
Never-mind
And 'St- 'st- 'st - and What's-their-name, and also You-know-who -
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list
For they'll none of them be missed - they'll none of them be missed!

[Chorus]

You may put 'em on the list - you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed - they'll none of them be missed!
