================================================================ "Just Vote for Me" Written by Angela Kuo (axk23@psu.edu) To the tune of "Under the Sea" from _The Little Mermaid_. Lyrics by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken. Copyright: 1996. Originally posted 10/11/96, revised 10/27/96. Author's note: Well, it's less than a month to go...and with the recent presidental and vice-presidental debates, I thought it might be appropriate to post this. Right now I am still undecided which candidate I will vote for. Somehow I doubt much will happen in the next month to change that. But I will vote anyway. At least it gives me the right to complain. ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Just Vote for Me" CANDIDATE [spoken] Citizens, listen to me. The human world--it's a mess. But life under my administration would be better than anything we've got right now. VOTER The campaign is always meaner In somebody else's ad. I dream about better choices But that ain't the current fad. November is getting nearer, Soon it'll be Election Day. But issues aren't getting clearer: Just listen to what they say! DOLE Just vote for me, Just vote for me, I'll prove I'm better, I'm a vote-getter-- I guarantee! Up on the stump I talk all day-- Hey! Listen you, don't walk away-- Now I'm devotin' full time for votes 'n' Just vote for me! CLINTON The workers are mostly happy As long as they're on payrolls. The market is looking snappy; I'm sure to stay high in polls. But I know that I am lucky-- There's issues that I avoid. One day if the voter's angry, Guess who gon' be unemployed? (Uh oh!) Just vote for me, Just vote for me, No one can beat us, try and unseat us, We'll win you'll see! People'll yell and scream and shout, Vowing that they will toss us out. While we are sayin' that we'll be stayin' Just vote for me! DOLE Just vote for me... CLINTON Just vote for me! DOLE Just vote for me... CLINTON Since life is sweet here we can't be beat here Naturally! DOLE Just look at you, you liberal bum! CLINTON Speak for yourself and right-wing scum! VOTER Choosing's a riddle, I'm in the middle-- DOLE AND CLINTON Just vote for me! VOTERS That Newt is a brute, Al Gore is a bore, While Bill makes me ill, And Dole makes me snore, And I think that Pat Buchanan's a rat-- Rebuke all these flukes of polls! (Yeah!) Now Jack's on attack, An ex-quarterback, The press is a mess, We're under duress. Just send up the howl: We want Colin Powell-- And oh please no Perot! DOLE AND CLINTON Yeah, just vote for me, Just vote for me. VOTER When the campaign begins to refrain It's insanity! What do we get? A lot of lies! Listen again to both of these guys... DOLE AND CLINTON Each little phrase here bound to earn praise here-- Just vote for me! Each little stat here better than that here-- Just vote for me! VOTER Each little word here sure is absurd here, That's why I'm hatin' all the debatin'-- Yeah, I sure think here politics stink here-- DOLE AND CLINTON Just vote for me!
