to the tune of I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
They’ve been working on the science
In a conscientious way
Searching out the facts and figures
Just to make things clear as day
Monitoring fish and wildlife
Testing streams and lakes
Climate change is having impacts
We must put on the brakes!
But then it’s:
(chorus)
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP YOUR FACE!
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper’s a disgrace!
All the data they discover
Should be out there for everyone
Students, public and the media
That’s the job they’ve always done
Now we see them being muzzled
Because the facts will clearly show
The reality of climate changing
That the public must not know!
So then it’s:
(chorus)
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP YOUR FACE!
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper’s a disgrace!
to the tune of the verse: Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah:
Every word that’s spoken
Must be vetted by the PMO-o-o-o
Even Members of Parliament
Toe the line or out they go.
They’re told that:
(chorus)
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP YOUR FACE!
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper says SHUT UP
Harper’s a disgrace!
