The song is called 'The Joker', and it's sung by Gina Riley. Don't know if you can get it from anywhere as it was just only written for the opening credits as a comedy song.

The song, "The Joker," is from a 1960s musical ("The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd") about the class system, which seems apt for a TV show that spoofs the aspirational class (and in doing so spoofs those who spoof it).
From the mini-article on W-pedia:
Resembling a music hall production more than a book musical, the allegorical plot examines the maintenance of the status quo between the upper and lower classes of British society in the 1960s.
Riley sings in the style of Shirley Bassey:
And, from the orig Bway cast:
"All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people."

The song, "The Jocker" was written by Anthony Newley. He may have sung the original in a musical which he probably co wrote. It would have been different to the Shirley Bassey style.
