Under The Blue Bus - Political Parody

The upcoming Federal election (perhaps 2015) might be very dirty.

How about adding a bit of fun?

My first political parody song can be found below.
There might be more lyrics if there is enough interest.

The lyrics are released under a Creative Commons liscense so that anyone can copy, make contributions and share with others.

There is a serious message that inspired the creation of the lyrics.

The following lyrics were inspired by "Under The Boardwalk"
(as recorded by the Drifters and originally written by
Arthur Resnick and Kenny Young)

It should be noted that there is hardly any resemblance between
the lyrics of either song.

When the PM won't budge and always gets the last say
and then you're forced to take the highway.
Under the blue bus is a long way to fall,
and my private member's bill is going to stall.

(Under the blue bus)
I'll have to sit over there,
where they talk of clean air.

(Under the blue bus)
Oh no, now what have I got?
There's no million dollar shot.

Under the blue bus, oh goodness me,
if I could crawl out I'd go and hug a tree.

When your remarks made Cops and Crosby look like old pals
and the Liberals and NDP have called you foul.
Under the blue bus is a long way to fall,
and my private member's bill is going to stall.

(Under the blue bus)
I'll be walking the halls,
cause no one's returning my calls.

(Under the blue bus)
I'll be having no fun.
My political career is done.

Under the blue bus, oh goodness me,
if I could crawl out I'd go and hug a tree.

When you finally face your greatest fears
that your riding has voted Tory for 200 years.
Under the blue bus is a long way to fall,
and my private member's bill is going to stall.

(Under the blue bus)
It's getting really stuffy.
I often think of Duffy.

(Under the blue bus)
I wish I could be "good to go",
as I really need some dough.

Under the blue bus, oh goodness me,
if I could crawl out I'd go and hug a tree.

People who would like to make a difference could call their MPs and ask them to support the Reform Act ("An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act"). This bill is set to be read again in Parliament possibly during the third week of September 2014. This act will not fix all of the problems but represents a good start.
