Election Day 2012: a Blue Ridge Mtn. Love Song

 

 

Come listen to this story about election

It’s never ever boring across this USA

I practiced it with the right inflections

And I wrote it just for this Election Day

For from cotton pickin’ players in Dixie

To Eskimo’s still cleanin-up Kachemak Bay

Election Day

It’s a way of life

Election Day

Come dodge the strife.

Election Day

What party’s your wife?

Now the rich are weary of all those poor

And the poor insufferably hate the rich

I once had a neighbor = what a real bitch

If she were a rich one guess she’d be a cliché

(a real rich bitch)

Election Day

National debutants

Election Day

Meet you @ Baum Vivant

Election Day

It’s our way of life

Election Day

Oh, I just might, HO.

“Will you vote me in?”

“Hell no!”

“Will you vote me in?!”

“Hell no!”

“Will you vote me in?!”

“Hell no!”

From Queens, New York to the queens

Inside the Castro (that’s San Francisco)

It’s a fickle as the weather for some

But some it’s so easy to just pull that lever

“If you vote straight-D son, you’ll be a gem!”

Now, here’s a reason for a big “think-tank”

It’s more than the minister of economics needs a job

Is there enough ways to support everyone in the world

Or do we have to break the little kiddies’ piggy banks?!

Election Day

How much is in the coiffeurs

Election Day

Hey, man, what you offerin’?!. ..

How’d I get so smart I’m asked quite often

Well, I’ve read the poet W.H. Auden

And, no. It’s no witch craft

But, hey, it’s better than another gaff! ..

And, folks in DC don’t practice what they preach,

Now anyway

Election Day

It’s a brand new day

It’s a brand new day

It’s brand new day.

It’s Election Day
