The Ballad of Al Gore
Sung to the tune of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" (The theme to The Beverly
Hilbillies)
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 stupid 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 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?
