Political: The Ballad of Al Gore
|
The Ballad of Al Gore (Sung to the tune of "The ballad of Jed Clampett") Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Gore A snippy Democrat, who was really quite a bore On election day of his Presidential bout He thought he lost the fight but he got to recount Ballots that is... punch cards... butterflies Well the next thing you know they're countin' 'em again He lost a second time so he gave it all some spin They said Palm Beach is the place you oughta be So he hired legal experts from Tallahassee Florida that is... sunshine state... deadlocked Well the next thing you know they wanna change the rules And play around with votes cause they think we're friggin fools They riled lotsa folks and they made a lotta fuss Till Cheney came along and started kickin' butts Buttocks that is... liberal hineys... left-wing tuchas Al Gore whined that the system wasn't fair After countin' ballot holes that weren't even there Kate Harris said that the recount was a joke But that didn't stop the liberals from tallyin' votes Democrat votes that is... hangin' chad... dimpled ballots Well the State Supreme Court gave Gore another break They let him count again cause the party was at stake But just when he thought that his dream was born anew The overseas votes gave it all to W George W that is... Texas Governor... President-elect Now it's time to say good-bye to Al and all his kin He tried to steal some votes but it didn't help him win You're all invited over to his house in Tennessee To sit around and blubber at his pity-party Nashville that is... pout a while... have some sour grapes Ya'll have fun now... Ya Hear? |
