The Results Are In...

Sung to the tune of Victory Day by Tom Cochrane:

He's got no reason, but he's got pride
People thought Martin was through
Sponsorship trouble? No, he cried
We'll turn to see what is true
Martin's Canada came into play
On this Election Day

He's stuck it out, He's hung in tough
Today just wasn't his day
Attack ads came, but each time they did
He managed to keep them at bay
But plurality, it's escaped him today
Harper grumbles, then goes on to say
Pollsters need a big cut in their pay
On this Election Day

Election Day, Election Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
This country's Red shone through anyway
On this Election Day

Oh Layton, think of the children, said Layton
But a two percent margin, that's kind of small
It's all he could hope for, winning his seat
That smiling ass didn't help his party at all
And the Bloc-heads came through as usual
Seperation coming? Well, they just can't say
Four percent vote, just for the Greens
They'll receive funding and I guess that's okay
On this Election Day

Election Day, Election Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
Third and fourth parties got down and prayed
On this Election Day

So this is the news as it happens
A Liberal minority will now take the stage
But don't get too comfy, because it seems
That with no alliance you won't get to stay
Just a matter of time
Till the House says "We hate you and we want you to pay"

Election Day, Election Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
See you in six months, or at least by next May
The next Election Day, the next Election Day
