A Republican Prime Minister
(With no planning ahead; no nothing)

Get your water permits before buyer beware
While Alberta authorities still think that there's water there,
And are convinced that their rivers will never be drained dry.
How can they be so sure? Would Steve Harper lie?

Selling a license to use water that doesn't exist
In the quantities needed even a short ways down the road
Is something that Wall Street ought to start looking into.
What a potential for profits. It could be The Mother Lode!

Bond traders and lawyers can devise
Ingenious financials and incontestable suits

Wait till those hicks sitting north of the border
Find it's Goldman Sachs sharks with whom they're in cahoots.

All hell will break loose. The U.S. will annex Alberta.
Elizabeth Warren will appoint Al Gore its petroleum chief,
Prosecuting Steve Harper, the former Prime Minister,
As another Republican, a small-time petrothief.
