I Have Written the Democrats a Victory Song in Anticipation of Obama's Certain Victory

I offered this to my Democrat friends after the 2009 election but never got any takers. I heard the tune on a Smithsonian folk song CD.  It was originally written after Franklin D. Roosevelt's victory - kind of a nanny nanny boo-boo song that was popular with the unions, the communists and Democrats back in the day.

It was such a lovely bluegrass number, I decided to update it a bit.  I thought my Democrat buddies back in 09 needed a good nanny nanny boo-boo song to go with the little nanny nanny boo boo dance they were all doing.  I figure they need a new one what with all the Hope and Change we've been having lately.

To wit, this tuneful little number.  If you want to hear a clip of the tune, check out this version on Amazon.com to see how it goes. Just click on the play button and you'll hear the tune.


We’ve Got Democrats in Congress Once Again


(Tune: We've Got Franklin D. Roosevelt Back Again - 1936, Bill Cox)

C                                               F
Just hand me my old banjo For soon I’m goin’ to go
C                                                  G7
Back to dear old Washington far away.
C                                              F
Since Obama's been elected, We'll not be neglected.
                   G7                                               C
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
C                            F                          C                                              G7
Once again, once again, We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
C                                                         F
Since Obama’s been re-elected, The Economy’s been corrected.
                 G7                                      C
We've got bucketfuls of money pouring in.

We’ll take ourselves a little toke
We’ll eat our veggies till we choke.
The diet cops will watch us night and day.
You can tell a dirty joke.
Fornicate, but you can’t smoke.
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.

Once again, once again,
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
Rush Limbaugh will be buried.
Gay folks can all get married.
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.

No more mortgages to pay.
The donkey won election day.
No more workin’ in the blowing, snow and rain.
Security is watching us.
We’ll all be ridin’ on the bus.
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.

Once again, once again,
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
Since Obama’s now above us,
The whole world’s gonna love us.
Cause we’re gonna all be just as poor as them.


...Poor as them, poor as them
We're gonna all be just as poor as them.
And if you're not a socialist
You'll get an audit from the IRS
We've got Democrats in the Congress once again.
