A reformer named day  
looked in his mirror this day 
and saw a name 
a new mirrored name 
the 
Right Honorable 
Prime Minister Day  
he gassed up with pride 
at his wall mirror's stand 
with extra supreme 
the electioneering brand 
... 
a 
debating he went 
to put on display 
 his poster sized cards 
 that he filled up with numbers 
that really can't  lie 
and  
charts that he scribbled with lines 
that went up          
                        and down       
and left    
                       and right        
... 
then 
with his pointer in hand 
he preceded to stand 
 and 
 describe all the evils 
of Niagara Falls Land 
   Flowing 
              North           
    South 
                  East       West             
 little did he know  
that on his big toe 
Joe Clark had written 
Ho! Ho!   and    Ho! 
... 
for six days and six nights 
the campaign would promote 
Mr. Day 
 for whom you should vote 
in his wet suit and tights 
looking shiny and bright 
as he pounded with might 
to his grassroots delight 
all those liberals and others  
who are far from the right 
... 
on the seventh day  he  rest 
and  
with his good book in hand 
he pray's for the day 
when the world will become 
six-thousand and one 
... 
No dinosaur he said 
could be older than that 
don't question the  
"Book" 
in my grassroots hand 
so the grassroots they danced  
a square bible dance 
 on the scientists 
from hell 
 with their scientific facts 
... 
we grassroots we pray  
for our Mr. Day 
though his brain be in neutral 
and his mouth be in drive 
it is his democratic right 
 to say 
"my opponent is gay" 
... 
he learned  
from the inquisition 
that to lie and to cheat is not real deceit 
when you're on  
God's mission 
but 
 then he was sued 
by man's  liberal law  
that protects us all  
from the 
torture and hate of the    
good book's  law 
so 
 with our wallets wide open 
we grassroots  will pay  
for the democratic rights of  
our  Mr. Day 
and pray for the day 
that God will convert 
those liberal perverts 
from their dirt thinking way   
... 
meanwhile we say  
if God doesn't act  
we will  
in his name say 
 it is time for a change 
and it's time for the grassroots to act  
only God will stop 
 our chosen path 
and the fact that he doesn't  
is  blessing our task 
so 
out with our whips 
and out with our sticks 
beat another sinner  
beat another gay 
beat them 
with fire and brimstone 
 until 
they love and obey 
what the "good book" does say 
... 
onward we go 
with our hatreds in tow 
dressed  in our fineries 
for to church we do go 
and pray for the day  
when all choice is nay  
and we will have killed and re-killed 
every liberal and gay 
... 
as alliance we started  
as reformers we'll end 
in a landslide of votes  
for our  Mr. Day 

...
