The Ballad of the Capitol Hillbillies

(with apologies to Flatt and Scruggs)

Let me tell a little story ‘bout a man called O;
A tax-cheat loving senator from south-side Chicago.
Didn’t know the issues, mostly cast his vote “present”,
But America misunderstood, and made him President.
POTUS, that is.
Commander in thief.
The pig kahuna.

Well, the next thing you know, they’ve anointed him “the One”,
His campaign bus drops him off in downtown Washington;
Acorn and the netroots say, “Robin Hood’s who O should be”,
So he steals from our grandkids and goes on a spending spree.
Porkulus, that is.
Bail-outs,
Corruption.

“The Capitol Hillbillies”
(Banjo interlude)

For four years we must suffer through the O and all his kin;
They fooled us once but we won’t e’er be duped by them again.
We’ll work our butts off to make amends for their profligacy;
And next time, vote for someone who won’t ruin the economy.
Turn things aright, that is.
Who is John Galt?
We can heal Congress in 2010, y’hear.
