…from back in the good old days when more than 50% of Kiwis called themselves christian. We didn't know how lucky we were!

I am amazed at how fast new material is being added to youtube. Thanks for the pointer t8; we (TVNZ) treated John Clarke badly and sadly we deserved to lose him to Oz. It looks like there is more out there but this is a classic.

Way back in the distance, I can remember the boys taking fred dagg off, I think it was…WAS it piggy Muldoon material, not sure NOW?

I was speaking to a mate of mine
just the other day
A guy called Bruce Bayliss actually
who lives up our way
He's been living in Europe
for the year, more or less
I said “How was Europe, Bruce?”
He says “Fred, it's a mess”We don't know how lucky we are, mate.
We don't know how lucky we are!I was down the Plough and Chequebook
the night before last
There's a guy down there on the floor
with his brain at half-mast
I said “You're looking really bad mate
your eyes look like strings”
He says “Get me an eight will you please
I can't see a thing”We don't know how lucky we are, mate.
We don't know how lucky we are!Me stock agent's got a beach place
where he spends most of his days
His wife bit the dust down there last year
got eaten by a couple of crays
And his two littlest daughters
got killed by a whale
I said “Are you going down there this year mate?”
He says “Fred, right on the nail”“We don't know how fortunate we are to have that place
We don't know how propitious are the circumstances Frederick”So if things are looking really bad
you're thinking of givin' it away
Remember New Zealand's a cracker
and I reckon come what may
If things get appallingly bad
and we all get atrociously poor
If we stand in the queue with our hats on
we can borrow a few million more
We don't know how lucky we are, mate
We don't know how lucky we areWe don't know how lucky we are, mate.
We don't know how lucky we are!————————————–
The 'borrow a few million more' would have been a reference to the late Sir Robert.

Fred Dagg and the Conchords are looking to do a gig at some stage in the future.
Should be an interesting mix.
