Union Songs
O No John
A song by Phyl Lobl ©Phyl Lobl 2003
Tune: "O No John"On Russell Hill there stands a creature
Who he is we know too well,
He wants us to believe he’s truthful
YES or No we have to tell,
Oh, NO John, NO John, NO John, NO.Before he was elected P.M,
He promised us NO G.S.T,
Hand on heart he asked the people,
Will you please believe in me?
Oh, NO John, NO John, NO John, NO.Refugees came sailing southward,
‘Children overboard’ his cry,
‘These people are not fit for rescue’,
Did anyone believe his lie ?
Oh, NO John, NO John, NO John, NO.Next in war he did en-Gulf us,
Following the U.S.A,
Called it legal, called it righteous,
Tell the U.N what to say.
Oh, NO John, NO John, NO John, NO.Repeat verse 1.
