(to the tune of U2's When Love Comes to Town)
He was a Greenie, he was a List MP
His star was rising thanks to MMP
He had it all, he ate wholemeal bread
Now he's a laughing stock 'cause the things he's said
When Locke comes to town, he's gonna eat his words
When Locke comes to town, he's gonna shock those birds
Maybe he was wrong to ever open his mouth
But he did what he did in a posing pouch
He made a wager, he made a bet
He made a promise he would soon regret
His arse was pale as a vaudeville clown
That's what was said when Locke came to town
He ran right through Newmarket, he heard a lady scream
"I always thought your policies were too extreme"
As he ran down the block he saw his career drown
That was the day when Locke came to town
When Locke comes to town, Hide's gonna avert his eyes
When Locke comes to town, Clark will judge his size
Maybe he was wrong to ever open his mouth
But he did what he did before heading down south
He was there when EB crucified his creed
He held his tongue to stop the frenzied feed
He played the fiddle while his party burned
And he saw votes leave as stomachs turned
When Locke comes to town, he's gonna eat his words
When Locke comes to town, he's gonna shock those birds
Maybe he was wrong to ever open his mouth
But wait til the day he is back in the House!
