A long, long time ago
I can still remember how those Democrat promises made them smile
And I knew if I had my way
That I could make those taxpayers pay
And enough people would be happy for awhile

Drove my Volt down to the station
Cause I thought it would fry

Singin’ “this November I’m gonna cry,
This November I’m gonna cry-y-y.”
