Sid's Big Night

Sheriff and Elia—
It was Walter Nash versus Sydney Hol, in the springtime of '54
There was lots of speculation at the poll, whether Syd would be out the door;
But the Labour Party did not have much hope, they were ready to say goodbye,
And while poor old Walter handed out soft soap, he could hear the people cry;

Chorus—
C'mon Syd,
C'mon Syd,
We've voted for you with all our might;
C'mon Syd,
C'mon Syd,
And thanks to all those voters it was Syd's big night.

Now Social Credit had a lot of nerve, with a stander in every spot;
They got a lot more votes than they did deserve, but elected they were not.
Walter made a final desperate bid, to have all the vote slips mixed
But a far more cunning move was made by Sid— he had all the boundaries fixed.

C'mon Syd,
C'mon Syd,
They voted for him with all their might;
C'mon Syd,
C'mon Syd,
And thanks to all those voters it was Syd's big night.
