The All-New Whitehouse Blues lyrics by Tim O'Brien 11.09.00 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Al Gore he hollered, Al Gore he squawled This here election is too close to call I might get back to Washington George Bush Jr, a chip off the block Thought he was winning, thought he had it locked He winked and smiled, then it was gone Al Gore conceeded a little too soon Now he's yellin', he's talkin'bout suin' A normal day in Washington Look here you rascals, see what you done Screwed up the ballots and George Jr won Another shrub in Washington Tv projections, those evil exit polls Twenty thousand ballots with one too many holes Down in the state of Florida Why fight the traffic and wait in the rain One guy's a jerk and the other's a pain I'll just go home and drink some beer Clintons' in the white house, he's doin his best Bush is in the bullpen, he wants all the rest For Texas oil in Washington Senator Hillary stood by her man He bought her a house up in New Amsterdam Another house in Arlington Look in the pockets of any billionaire You'll see an elephant and a donkey in there One on the left, one on the right Dubya and Al, they have all the loot Nader campaigns in a 50 dollar suit They eat the steaks, he gets the greens Might be the springtime when this CD comes out Maybe by then we'll know what it's all about We'll see which clown got the job Al gore hollered, Al Gore he squawled This here election is much too close to call I might get back to Washington >>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<< Hail to the cheif quotes throughout 8 pairs of verses originally, then trimmed to 6 pairs extras verses that were scrapped: I was on the tour bus when I wrote this song If you got a good topic it dont take too long Half an hour more or less Patrick Buchanan he says to Larry King All these botched ballots they don't mean a thing Junior won it fair and square the Grand Ol' Opry wont play this song WSM would think it's morally wrong I think I'll go to MP3 The U.S. people think they have a choice The election's just a decoy disguised as a voice Big money wins every time
