And here's to you, Attawapiskat

And Here's to You, Attawapiskat
[Sung to Simon and Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson]


And here's to you, Attawapiskat

Harper loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please, Attawapiskat

Harperland’s a place for those who pray

(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)



I'd like to know a little bit about you for my files

I'd like to see you learn to help yourself

Look around you, all you see are lazy eyes

Stroll around the cruddy shacks that you call home



And here's to you, Attawapiskat

Harper loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please, Attawapiskat

Harperland’s a place for those who pray

(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)



Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes

Put it in your mind that is far away.

It's a little secret, just the ‘Wapiskat affair

Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids



Coo, coo, ca-choo, Attawapiskat

Harper loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)

God bless you please, Attawapiskat

Harperland’s a place for those who pray

(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)



Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

Gonna watch the candidates debate

Laugh about it, shout about it

When you've got to choose

Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose



Where have you gone, Attawapiskat

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)

What's that you say, Attawapiskat

Harperland has left you, gone away

(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
