The Lyrics
I sing a song of Sir John A.
A Founding Father, I say.
Around Kingston he did roam.
Drinking all night.
But he saw the light.
And his country woke up
and built a new home.
So hoist up a John A hail.
Confederation's set.
Call the Old Chieftain
he's sure to lead our great home.
Lead our great home.
He's gonna lead our great home.
Well, he's built a nation.
He'll lead our great home.
The first term, he got drunk.
Eased ways for the Grand Trunk.
The railroad scandal made us send him away.
Yay, yay.
But Mackenzie
a bad job did he.
Wow-ee.
Well, let's call the Tories
and tell 'em come home.
So hoist up a John A hail!
(Host up a John A hail.)
Confederation's set!
(Confederation's set.)
Call the Old Chieftain
he's sure to lead our great home!
Lead our great home!
Lead our great home!
(Lead our great home!)
He's gonna lead our great home.
(Hoist up a John A hail!)
(Hoist up a John A hail!)
Well, he's built a nation!
He'll lead our great home!
(Lead our great home!)
The National Policy fits.
High tariffs, unlike the Grits.
From this way, our economy was born.
Led our great home.
(Whoa...)
Macdonald led our great home.
(Whoa-whoa-whoa...)
This is the first guy.
Ten dollars, he's on.
So hoist up a John A hail!
(Host up a John A hail.)
Confederation's set!
(Confederation's set.)
Call the Old Chieftain
he's sure to lead our great home!
Lead our great home!
