The storm was coming
The Dominion was singing
Let the Hun come!

Uncle Sam down there
Did not dare nor care

Then there were CC-1 & CC-2
Premier McBride knew what to do

Chile had let the subs fall through
Eager to make a deal
Nobody cared if they were real

The purchase caused a big wake
It was said it was for the people’s sake

As they tied up at the pier
The province was reeling in fear

To thicken the plot
They never fired a shot!

The transfer from coast to coast
Was mainly in tow

McBride…..pride…..or bribe
No matter what………
This wave of commotion
Gave birth to our Nation!
