Morning, media believers. Jack Layton here. I’m a folk hero and singer from round these parts.

You may remember some of my songs such as Building A Coalition and Doing It Right in Chinatown.

We’re in a bit of a pickle right now. I’m not walking very good and I’m a little weak from my other health problems. So people are worried I might not be “election ready”. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Now, unlike the Tories, we don’t have any money, we’re tapped out. Can’t afford television advertising.

I’ve decided to write a little election plane song. It will be playing non-stop on the plane until you media darlings get the message.

Jack is Back.

Let’s sing it shall we? Goes to the tune of another great song, I am Woman by Our Sister, Helen Reddy.

Sorry folks. Unlike Mr. Harper, I am no song styler.

Here goes.

I’m Jack Layton, hear me roar
I can’t walk and I am sore
But I hate those Tory bastards, can’t pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
All that crap on the Commons floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I’m Jack Layton!

You can bend but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I’m Jack Layton watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my manifesto across the land
And I’m real and not for show
My Quebec numbers can only grow
Until I make those Tory bastards understand

Oh yes I am wise
And I can play right through the pain
Yes, I’ll pay the price
I might have to use a cane
If I have to I’ll use anything
I am here (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I’m Jack Layton
Oh oh, I am the spoiler
Pay attention!
