The Battle Hymn of the Republicans North

(With apologies to inspirational songs from times past.)

Mine eyes have seen the glory of our presidential Lord
He is trampling all who claim it matters what we can afford
He hath loosed the fateful chequebook for political reward
His red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.

I have seen him spending constantly to buy votes in Quebec
And he is not deterred if the results have been a wreck
So onward to the next site, snap his picture with a cheque
And the red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.

He is sifting out the PR value from his judgment-seat
He has given marching orders, and shall never call retreat
With the force of pork be strong, and to the camera be fleet
His red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.

I have read his fiery gospel writ in ever-shifting sands
That he and he alone can keep recession from our lands
On our journey to destruction he’s the steadiest of hands
His red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.

He hacks away at revenues unbothered by regret
To concern about expenses, pay no heed; his course is set
As our parents built our assets, let our children pay our debt
The red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.

His constancy of purpose leaves us no room for surprise
He is antidote to reason, and corrective to the wise
In fighting for a Canada that we won’t recognize
And his red ink marches on.

(Chorus)
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
Budget deficit forever!
To fix it would be dumb.
