Here's to the Losers

Here's to those who left the polls feeling full of cheer,
And now are sadly sobbing in their pints of beer.
To those who ran not thinking they could ever fall--
Here's to the losers, bless them all.

Here's to Dimples Scheer and Maxime Bernier.
Gotta tell you, fellas, it wasn't gonna be your day.
Now you're waiting nervously to get the party's call--
Here's to the losers, bless them all.

And Lisa Raitt and Jane Philpott,
A noble battle that you went and fought.
But politics ain't Champagne, it's often bitter gall.
Here's to the losers, bless them all.

Now here's the final toast before we hit the bars:
Some people must be losers so others can be stars.
But another election's coming, maybe next summer or next fall.
So hang in there--bless you all!
