Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Da-dup, da-dup, ooh
Da-dup, da-dup, ooh
Da-dup, da-dup, ooh
Da-dup, da-dup
[Verse 2]
Come little baby, shelter from the storm
We goin' viral, and the fire is warm
Keeping calm, carrying on
Scotty's latest presser is depressing
So we tuning in to this approved message from the Senator
[Verse 3]
Bet you are still tryna find me
Out of office message, Mahalo from Hawaii
Leadership's not really something that I'm feelin' kid
You maybe shoulda voted for the other guy behind me
What's the matter little Aussie battler, ya tired?
No, everything I own is on fire
Well your Aussie spirits lifted and ya still kickin' on
Everything is burnin' (Better turn the fuckin' cricket on)
We deserve someone who's a little bit better than
And ain't no one's been this nice since settlement
You ain't fit to push the whip, ya back peddalin'
You ain't fit to wear the kicks that I'm treadin' in
(I'm smooth) I'm real nice like
And it's not like I miss this nightlife
It's all good, yeah, it's alright
If I can't start a house party, start a house fire (Get it)
[Verse 4]
Come little baby, shelter from the storm
We goin' viral, and the fire is warm
We good little citizens, sittin' in the bunker just
Watchin' the boss fumble like my befuddled uncle does
[Verse 5]
We're rockin' the lock-in, self-interred
Watching videos of Jacinda Ardern
Shit! Even the kiwis aren't allowed outside
If I can't start a house party start a house fire (Epic bro!)
[Verse 6]
Briggs for PM
Duck Peter Dutton, if you see him
Deport this, fuck how you feeling
Pandemic's got 'em reelin', people need to see ya leadin'
Fuck it, footy's on, do it after the weekend
If worst comes to worst, the people come first
(Yeah, but I'm gonna need the purse for my mega church)
You ain't fit, we don't get near a penny worth
You ain't fit, the leadership it's gettin' plenty worse
Went to hit the store and everything had been bought
They quarantined us all, so we're sittin' indoors
And if they gettin' on board, I'm pullin' this rip cord
And ditchin' this concord and splittin' like Jean Claude
[Verse 7]
But you're cool, I'm real nice like
And it's not like I miss this nightlife
We're all good, yeah, it's alright
If we can't start a house party, start a house fire
But you're cool, yeah–ya, alright
But I'm kind of sick and tired of being inside
We're all good, yeah, we're all smiles
If we can't start a house party, start a house fire (Get it)
[Verse 8]
Come little baby, shelter from the storm
We're coughin' up lungs and the kettle's on
We already burnt the world outside
If we can't start a house party, start a house fire
[Verse 9]
Da-dup, da-dup, ooh
Da-dup, da-dup, ooh
Da-dup, da-dup
If we can't start a house party, start a house fire
[Verse 10]
Scotty from marketing standing there, shuffling his papers
Wondering why Jesus hasn't come to save us
Looking to Peter Dutton like, what the fuck's happenin'?
At least the Ruby Princess had a fuckin' captain
[Verse 11]
Come little baby, shelter from the storm
Stay the fuck inside, until the bugger's gone
But we can still stir shit from the inside
If you can't start a house party start a house fire
