Kevin’s Night in Scores

 

Written and performed as part of the How Hard Can It Be? segment on ABC Local Radio Brisbane during 2007 after Kevin Rudd was revealed to have spent a night in New York’s Scores nightclub while there on official business in 2004.

This is a song called "Kevin's Night in Scores"

It's about Kevin Rudd... and his night in Scores

Now most of you think this is when he went astray

but that's the night that made him what he is today.

He walked in that night a champion of Labor Right

and walked out a hero of the poor

So this is a song that's all about Kevin

Kevin's night in Scores

 

Kevin sat by the stage and yelled out "show us some skin!"

The effect was so stunning, he tried again in Mandarin.

The dancer was confused but she knew she had the power

so she offered him a lap dance for 200 bucks an hour

Kevin called out, "Good Lord! No working man can afford

those kind of prices under new I.R. laws" (a-ha!)

So this is a song that's all about Kevin

Kevin's night in Scores

 

Then Kevin saw a vision and he heard angelic voices,

singing, "The problem's not strip clubs, the problem's WorkChoices"

So he stood on the stage, and he declared, "of these laws,

I want to be the eraser."

Then he ran out of Scores, left his trousers behind,

and the girls put them next to Malcolm Fraser's.

 

So Trouserless Kevin came back with a plan

for affordable 'lappies' and more pay in the hand

"I'm an economic conservative!" he tells all in sight

and the girls back at Scores say, "yeah, he got that right."

But if cheaper lap dances lead to economic answers

then let the girls lead the applause

So this is a song that's all about Kevin

Kevin's night in Scores

So this is a song that's all about Kevin
