(54,443 posts)It just got re-texted. I even have this version recorded somewhere:
Once upon a time all votes were counted
No computer glitches to report
And no legal challenges were mounted
Voters chose, and not the Supreme Court
Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend
We thought theyd never end
One man one vote was watchword of the day.
If only voters choose, the winner would not lose,
Those were the days, oh, yes those were the days.
Once they needed Thomas and Scalia,
Had them stop the recount halfway through,
But now theres this new high tech idea:
Have machines turn votes to red from blue!
Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend
We thought theyd never end
One man one vote was watchword of the day.
If only voters choose, the winner would not lose,
Those were the days, oh, yes those were the days.
Once it was like being a craps shooter,
Never knowing who the winnerd be
Now its all decided by computer
Programmed by your friendly G O P!
Final chorus:
Those were the days, my friend
We thought theyd never end
One man one vote was watchword of the day.
Good old democracy, not crazed theocracy,
And color screens were just for Pac-Man play!
I will share that.

(54,443 posts)There were several we couldn't get permission to use, so we never published them. Jailhouse Iraq, Ain't Necessarily So (Bush version), etc.
Some we did put out are here: http://www.jango.com/music/The+Freedom+Toast
Strangers On The Right is in there somewhere.
Go down to "The Freedom Toast Songs" in the middle.
