The Lyrics
Continuing the tributes to the Prime Ministers of Canada. "Uncle Louis" led the nation from 1948 to 1957, its period of greatest economic growth.
(long instrumental opening)
Say goodbye to Mackenzie King!
As his replacement, who'll we bring?
We need Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
Helped start NATO, they all sez!
Sent peacekeepers to Suez!
That was Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
(instrumental break)
Louis couldn't do it all, it's true!
But he didn't give us the blues!
No, not Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
Uncle Louis!
Back in Quebec
(That's... St. Laurent!)
it was "Papa Louis!"
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
Say goodbye to Mackenzie King!
As his replacement, who'll we bring?
We need Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
Helped start NATO, they all sez!
Sent peacekeepers to Suez!
That was Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
(instrumental break)
Louis couldn't do it all, it's true!
But he didn't give us the blues!
No, not Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Laurent!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
Louis!
(That's... St. Laurent!)
Uncle Louis!
Back in Quebec
(That's... St. Laurent!)
it was "Papa Louis!"
(That's... St. Laurent!)
That's St. Lauraw-aw-aw-awnt!
That's St. Laurent!
That leaves 1891-96, 1911-20, 1930-35, and 1957-93. Let's see, what rhymes with "Diefenbaker"?
