The Liberals won under Jean Chrétien
In the vote of '93
From Quebec, he was the 18th child
Born into his family.
Had studied law and worked so hard
To be a great success
Politics called. He entered Parliament,
And in the Cabinet did his best
Chorus:
The Little Guy from Shawinigan believed
That what is needed to succeed:
To achieve success
Accept no less.
Always try
Your very best.
Chrétien sent troops to help keep the peace
In the Balkan Civil War.
He helped to boost foreign trade,
And started programs for the poor.
He stood against Quebec separatists
To defeat them narrowly.
He sponsored large trade missions
To bolster Canadian economy.
Chorus
His own party said it would cost him dear,
To go to the polls in the Millenium year.
But his choice was made, his decision firm,
And the voters gave him his third straight term.
