Excerpts from Toby Manhire: Walking in a Winston Wonderland
We Three Things:
Jacinda Ardern solo:
Just a kid from Moh-orrinsville
Keen to help out Andy Little
It’s not hubris, to just do this
Truth is that I quite like Bill
*
James Shaw solo:
Great Together, I believe in
Speak the truth – that’s how we win
Metiria, great co-leader
Popped into recycling bin
*
Winston Peters solo:
Had enough? Too right they had
Status quo was very bad
Need a deadline? Watch it, Sunshine
Covfefe, believe me, sad!
We Wish you a Merry Christmas
Feat Bill English
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And would just note in passing that the National Party won more votes than anyone and yet is not in government which a lot of ordinary New Zealanders will find surprising as they approach their Happy New Year.
Gareth the Red Mo’ed Reindeer
As sung by Gareth Morgan
Gareth the Red Mo’ed Reindeer
Had a very small ego
But all the lipsticked reindeers
Were a bunch of thick bozos
Fiscal Spells
As sung by Steven Joyce
O! Fiscal spells, fiscal spells
Fiscal hole, OK?
O what fun it is to ride
When you’re running the campaign.
Little Drummer Boy
As sung by Andrew Little
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
Just a new deputy, pa rum pum pum pum
Must replace Annette King, pa rum pum pum pum
Anyway you know what happened after that and it’s all fine now.
Mārie Te Pō
As sung by Don Brash
Mārie te pō, tapu te pō
Marino, marama
Ko te Whāea, me te Tama
Tama tino, tapu rā
Moe mai i te aio
Moe mai i te aio.
Google doesn’t translate that well, but it is obviously
Silent night, holy night, calm, bright etc.
Whāea is mother, Tama is boy/sun but no sign of a virgin there.

/ December 22, 2017O National fans
O National fans, O National fans
Thy hate is unrelenting
You’ll up make names for Ms Ardern
Eternally part of venting
The only one significant
Since she is in the Government
Is “The PM”, is “The PM”
So save your sad inventing.

/ December 22, 2017Oh, duperez, oh duperez,
I wish you would learn to scan;
When writing parodies of songs,
It’s much better if you can.
The parody should have the
Original’s scanned lines,
So it will sound the same when sung
And then will all be fine.

/ December 22, 2017Ode to Labour (Sung to Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’).
Last Christmas, I gave you my tax
But the very next day you gave it away
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town – Winston Peters
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Winston Peters is taking you to court
He’s making a list
He’s checking it twice;
You better get lots of legal advice
Winston Peters is taking you to court
He thinks that you’ve been leaking
He really is a flake
He knows he’s taking us for a ride
His super was just fake!
We Wish You a Merry Christmas – The new NZ govt
We wish you a Scary Christmas
We wish you a Scary Christmas
We wish you a Scary Christmas
Higher taxes are near
Infighting we bring
And more people at WINZ;
Less money for taxpayers
And we really don’t care!
Kitty Catkin
/ December 22, 2017NZ First Supporter…
Last Christmas. I gave you my vote,
But the very next day, you gave it away-
Next year, to save all my tears,
I’m giving my vote to National.

/ December 22, 2017I like it Kitty!
Kitty Catkin
/ December 22, 2017You’d better not charge, you’d better not sue,
You’ll look a right fool-I’m talking to you-
Winston, it’s the wrong thing to do.
It makes you look bad that talking to Bill
You’d planned things before and knew that you will
Soon be suing Bill’s lot,,.you dill..
Already you’d laid charges,
Already made your plan;
You knew you would not join the’ Nats’-*
That is not the done thing, man.
Youd better go back
And stop the whole case
And find a new tack-
Don’t mind saving face,
Winston, that’s the right thing to do.
* National won’t fit this song
