Sung to the tune of
"The ballad of Jed Clampett"
From the BEVERLY HILLBILLIES
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 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
