With Apologies to Bobby McFerrin
Edmonton - Friday, May 31, 2002 - by: Ron Thornton
Here is just a little poem I wrote As we try to keep the ship of state afloat Don't worry, be happy.
Poor Jean and Alfonso, the media trash Just be their friend and you'll get the cash Don't worry. Whose your daddy?
Vote Liberal and know your role Special interests and those on the dole Want funding? Be happy.
Forget the subs and the whirlybirds We'll fight our future wars with words Don't worry, we're yappy
A cheap dollar makes tourists give We're a nice place to visit, but not to live You should worry, its crappy.
Hedy promoted BC in her special way Why no defense for Art the other day? Don't worry, we're dandy.
They fib and don't tell all they know Our government looks like Pinnochio Don't worry, or they're snappy
Some want our PM out, or so they sing He'd quit tomorrow if we made him king Don't worry, he'd be happy.
That's my poem, that's all she wrote Our ship of state is a rowboat Don't worry, be happy.
