A love song for the leader of the Green Party, Elizabeth May




Love Song For Elizabeth May - Love Song For Elizabeth May - Single

There's a federal election on in Canada, and Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party, was shut out of the televised leaders debate. I, however, will debate her any time and have written a song to express this to her. On the party's website they talk about Strong Economy and Strong Communities, so that's why I sing about those things. If you can't see the video above, you can view the song by clicking here. And here are the lyrics so you can sing along:

Hey, hey, Elizabeth May
I’m an eco-guy who thinks about you every day
So when I heard the TV station wouldn’t let you come and play
I hopped on public transit and I came here to say

I’ll debate you in the morning
Over organic tea
I’ll debate you in the afternoon
As we plant a tree
I’ll debate you in the evening
As we compost scraps of food
But there’s no debating I love you

Hey, hey, Elizabeth May
I’d love to talk to you about the Green Part-ay
If the other leaders won’t then they must be afraid
But don’t worry about them because I’m super-brave

I’ll debate you in the morning
About strong economies
I’ll debate you in the afternoon
About strong communities
I’ll debate you in the evening
About whatever else you’re into
But there’s no debating I love you

I won’t debate Stephen because questions make him mad
I won’t debate Jack ‘cause I’m allergic to his stache
Gilles won’t like my accent so I better save my breath
But I owe it to the planet to debate Elizabeth

Oh, I forgot Iggy. But, well, doesn’t everyone?

I’ll debate you in the morning
As we recycle all our jars
I’ll debate you in the afternoon
As we drive electric cars
I’ll debate you in the evening
Until my green face turns to blue
But there’s no debating I love you
