GRIDIRON WEST DINNER 2004 ł ¦BEATLES˛ LYRICS
Help!
Help! Could be anybody,
When we were younger
and much dumber than today
WeĂre full of brand
new fears WeĂre trying to save our rears. Help us if you can weĂre feeling down
Cause we voted in a real bunch of clowns Help me Help de-mo-cra-cy—
A Day in Our Lives
And though his face was rather sad He risked it all on battlegrounds
But it was over when
Ohio called They decided that he wasnĂt any better than—Al Gore!
A Long Election Night
It was a long Election
night, It was a long Election night,
And you were squealing
like stuck hogs,
You know we work all
day, And itĂs funny just to hear you say YouĂre gonna give us evĂrything WeĂve got good reason to moan,
We need to take out a
loan, When IĂm home, taxes are squeezing me Tight, tight, YEAH!
Election
But when you talk
about a recount Count me out.
DonĂt you know itĂs
gonna be— all night
John Kerry said he had
a solution
But if you all voted
for people that just donĂt rate,
We just hope itĂs
gonna be— all right,
Election Day
Now it looks as though
theyĂre here to stay Suddenly, all my candidates are used-to-beĂs ThereĂs a chad thatĂs hanging over me Election Day irregularity? Why they had to lose, I donĂt know, I couldnĂt say Voters voted wrong ł or stayed home Election Day. Election Day, thatĂs when voters get to have their say TheyĂll be smarter the next time, I pray Oh, whenĂs the next Election Day?
votes, votes, votes, votes, votes. ThereĂs no race you can win if you donĂt run
No office you can lose
that canĂt be won
But it can be fun. ThereĂs no one you can buy who canĂt be paid
No initiative proposed
canĂt be waylaid ItĂs democracy!
All you need are
votes, all you need are votes,
Votes are all you
need.
Lady Madonna
Congressman Nethercutt, now that youĂve been beat
In DC/Olympia
Patty said to Georgie,
get out of my face As she rubbed him in the sand:
In DC—O-lym-pia, life
goes on— blah Blah, blah, blah, blah, life goes on
Dino took a flyer in
the GovernorĂs race,
She fought hard and it
looks like she held her base In DC—O-lym-pia, life goes on— blah, Blah, blah, blah, blah, life goes on
In DC—O-lym-pia life
goes on— blah, So if you want some fun ł say DC—O-lym-pia!
