about

The New Zealand prime minister, after being elected in 2008, was given a prolonged "honeymoon" by supine and sycophantic mainstream media stooges.

lyrics

John Key - a love song

Haven’t you heard you’re having a love affair
With the brand John Key, self-made millionaire
The papers say the state house boy made good
But why do we need him, when we need Robin Hood
He’s in the ‘right’ party, got all the ‘right’ friends
For this rich crowd the party never ends
Mum and Dad investors would like to thank ya
John Key – What a banker

Sing-along bit
John Key, the one and only, he’s part donkey, he’s part show pony
Prime Minister, Prince charming, he’s a well stage managed media darling

Another meet ’n’ greet and he’s dressed for success
Sharing a laugh, smooching up the press
He’s oh so tight with the press gallery
I’ve seen more spine on old celery
Corporate media journo hacks
So well paid to watch John’s back
Hello Duncan, Hello Guyon
Tell me, what’s John Key’s bed like to lie on?

Sing along bit again

So if your bank account’s empty and your job's been axed
John Key's feeling ‘very relaxed’
He’s never ever had to put his arse on the line
For a cause that’s bigger than his bottle of wine
If you’re overworked and still on the bones of your arse
You can be sure the PM’s raising a glass
Who cares about the poor, that’s so last September
John Key – What a member

Sing-along bit
