The Ballad of Brave Sir Harper

Bravely bold Sir Harper rode forth from Calg’ry
He was not afraid to fight – the CHRC!
He was not at all afraid to be slurred in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Harper!

Brave Sir Harper ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When Keith Martin reared his head,
Steve bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Harper turned about
And sold conservative principles out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Harper!

He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge…
