Posted below are lyrics to \u201cThe Surrey Shuffle\u201d:<\/p>\n
Red Serge blues\u2026<\/p>\n
Doug McCallum had a dream one night, I\u2019m going to trade the mountains for a brand new fight. We want local control, he said with a grin, didn\u2019t mention the bill, well, where do we begin.<\/p>\n
$235 million deep, Surrey taxpayers crying themselves to sleep, six long years of chaos, drama and shame, and nobody\u2019s quite sure who\u2019s taking the blame.<\/p>\n
Do the Surrey Shuffle, two steps left, three steps right, and there goes your chief. Board walks out, the crowd yells shame, nobody\u2019s answering, it\u2019s always someone else\u2019s game. Do the Surrey Shuffle it ain\u2019t pretty to see, the most expensive square dance in B.C.<\/p>\n
Then Brenda Locke rode in on her high horse. \u2018Bring back the Mounties.\u2019 Well, no, not of course. The province said no, the court said no, too. So, she smiled for the cameras and said, \u201cWhat can you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Norm Lipinski showed up, did the job right, five and a half years kept Surrey in sight. Signed a new contract, barely dried the ink, then the board pulled the plug, didn\u2019t even blink.<\/p>\n
Do the Surrey Shuffle, two steps left, three steps right, and there goes your chief. Board walks out, the crowd yells shame, nobody\u2019s answering. It\u2019s always someone else\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
Do the Surrey Shuffle, it ain\u2019t pretty to see. The most expensive square dance in B.C.<\/p>\n
Harley Chappell said, \u201cI wasn\u2019t even there.\u201d Packed up his gavel and walked out of that chair.<\/p>\n
The new chair steps up with a straight face and says, \u201cWe just want different leadership going into the next phase.<\/p>\n
Son, that ain\u2019t an answer. That\u2019s a rehearsed dodge. While extortion victims sat in the pews of that lodge. Asked about gang crimes, the safety of their streets. You\u2019re off the agenda. Well, ain\u2019t that neat.<\/p>\n
Do the Surrey Shuffle, gag the chief\u2019s voice, make sure he can\u2019t criticize the political noise. Board walks out, crowd goes wild, Two-fifties a million gone, And honey, that ain\u2019t mild.<\/p>\n
Do the Surrey Shuffle, right before election day. Surrey taxpayers, well, you\u2019re gonna pay.<\/p>\n
