Prime Ministers Are People Too
Song by Shawna Audet and The Overlanders
Macdonald was our first P.M. Known for all the money he skimmed His railway linked the whole country He dreamed big, he joined two seas Mackenzie made the Natives sign treaties When trouble broke he sent the Mounties Macdonald got another shot People said he drank a lot
Chorus Prime Ministers are people too They make mistakes like people often do Canada is still the best you know Our leaders rule as far as leaders go
Abbott, Thompson, BOWeLL (not BOWell) Tupper was quick to throw in the towel Laurier was the first French in power Sun shone brighter during his hour
Borden came for World War I Meighen made sure war stuff got done King lasted longer than anyone Bennett had a Depression
Laurent saw sadness everywhere So he started up welfare "Dief the Chief" thought that nucs weren't fair He bought warplanes and stripped them bare
Pearson gave us flag and song Trudeau said, "FLQ you're wrong." Clark was there then he was gone Some guys don't last long
Trudeau brought our constitution home Turner filled in but wasn't known Mulroney gave us G.S.T. full blown He couldn't leave the States alone
Campbell's the first woman we've met Chrétien decreased the debt He said he'd stop the tax that we still get Funny how they forget Prime
Ministers are people too They make mistakes like people often do Canada is still the best you know Our leaders rule as far as leaders go (Paul Martin, he just sailed right in there What do you think he's going to do? Who knows?) Oh Canada, our home and native land...
(This song was written before Stephan Harper came into office. You should add you own lyric to include him.)
