lyrics

Gambler

This has been a challenging time

Though I’m already six foot nine

I have grown

I have grown

My fortunes have seen their rise and fall

But like an Empire I still stand tall

I thank God for his infinite grace

May he put me in my rightful place

I’m a gambler, I’m a gambler,

I’m a gambler and I’m your MP

I’m a gambler, I’m a gambler

Would you place your bet on me?

Every day across from Parliament Hill

I go to the Casino and I have my fill

Of blackjack till I lose my shirt and coat

Then I go back to the House and vote

From left and right I borrow money

Don’t care about your political ideology

I once was a Liberal so it’s funny

How careless I could be with other people’s money

The party knows I’m an embarrassment

The Mounties are after me – I look spent

Only one way out when you are so bent

Turn yourself into an Independent

Now they want me to resign

Gimme that phone so I can gamble online

Cos the next decision is in play

Do we build a pipeline or let it go away?
