Dashing through the snow,

Alberta’s cash in hand,

O’er the fields he goes

He’s getting out of hand!

Schools are suffering!

Healthcare is not so bright!

Oh how sad it is to sing

About Alberta’s plight!

Where’s the jobs, where’s the jobs?

Kenney, where are they?

What you’ve done is cruel and dumb!

Why can’t you go away? OH

Where’s the jobs, where’s the jobs?

Kenney, where are they?

What you’ve done is cruel and dumb,

So here’s some coal today! (throw coal)

Coal for Kenney!

I’m worried for Alberta’s healthcare,

The minister hasn’t a clue.

He’s picking a fight with our Doctors,

While Covid 19’s rushes through!

Stop that, stop that

Our good doctors, they have a job to do.

Stop that, stop that

Or they’ll leave in droves when it’s through!

I’m worried for our education,

The minister hasn’t a clue!

She’s laid off all the support workers,

Now vulnerable children will lose!

Stop that, stop that

Those workers were getting the children through!

Stop that, stop that

Those workers had a job to do!

This song it could go on for ages.

The UCP hasn’t a clue!

Their budget and bills are outrageous.

They’re taking Albertans for fools!

Wake up, wake up,

And show them Albertans are not all fools!

Wake up, wake up

And show them Albertans aren’t fools!

Jason, Jason  

Give us your answer do!

We’re half crazy,

‘Cos of the things you do.

Our kids and our health must matter

More THAN the oil you flatter

So YOU’LL look sweet, the day you tweet

That you’ll PRIORIZE health care too!

Jason, Jason 

Give us your answer do!

We’re half crazy,

‘Cos of the things you do.

Our kids and our health must matter

More THAN the oil you flatter

So YOU’LL look sweet, the day you tweet

There’s more MONEY for classrooms too!

Jason, Jason 

Give us your answer do!

We’re half crazy,

‘Cos of the things you do.

Environment too must matter

More THAN the oil you flatter

So YOU’LL look sweet, the day you tweet

Of a GREEN future here….YA-HOO!!

G-S-As
Here to stay…

Alberta youth will show the way

POL-i-ticians, give your head a shake

Youth their own decisions make.

Don’t be dense, don’t be cruel

We cannot have teachers rule

Not about this, such a private thing

Safety’s what the YOUTH can bring.

Here’s to Youth!

Grans so proud!

Alberta youth are OUT and LOUD

POL-i-ticians, give your head a shake

Youth know best, for heaven’s sake!

Congratulations on the library!

You’ve made our City proud

We can’t believe our brand new library!

We shout your praises loud!

We could see the vision rising

Dazzling panes adorn

That’s our bright and shiny library

Our city’s been re-born.

The Grans are just so proud

Our hearts are beating loud

Our pace-makers might burst, burst, burst

It probably wasn’t fun, a miracle was done

By putting learning “first”.

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn, your horn

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn

Running out to my new Li-bree

To heck with knitting socks

Gonna start my seniors blog there

My li-brar-y, it  rocks!

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn, your horn

Calgary won’t you blow, Calgary won’t you blow

Calgary won’t you blow your horn

The doors are open every day in winter

The hours are friendly, and the staff is too

Equipment’s there to find the answers

At the li- brar-y!

It doesn’t matter if you’re young or older

Or living with a dis-a-bil-it-y

In short there’s simply not

A more congenial spot

Or happiness in learning than the

Pub-lic  Li-brar-y!

Library! Library!

It makes a person pause

To the library! The library!

For learning is the cause!

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to use it

Or your English isn’t up to speed

The staff will help you find what you are needing

At the Li-brar-y!

For books and videos and even music,

For magazines and Internet and news

In short there’s simply not

A more congenial spot

For happiness in learning than the

Pub-lic Li-brar-y!

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in

This is where I like to be.

If you’re having trouble with eyesight

There’s a large print collection for your plight.

There are novels on tape, there are movies galore.

Just wander about, take your time and explore.

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in.

This is where I like to be.

If you think all computers are scary

And this makes you hopeless and wary

There are people and programs to help through the fog.

You can connect, write your emails and edit your blog.

Oh what a library service

Oh what a place just for me

I have a space I can grow in.

This is where I like to be.
