THE STREETS OF D. C.

As I was was out strollin the HALLS OF THE CONGRESS
As I was out strolling THE CONGRESS one day,
I spied THE FAT PORKULUS, all dresssed in white linen,
All wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.

I can see by your suit that you are CONSERVATIVE
These words he did say as I boldly walked by.
Come an’ sit down beside me an’ hear my sad story.
RUSH PULLED ALL MY TEETH; THEN he LEFT ME TO die.”

I was once in the saddle, I used to go dashing.
Once in the saddle, I used to go gay.
First to the HOUSE AND THEN TO THE SENATE
but RUSH SHOT ME IN THE BREAST AND I’M DYING TODAY.

Get six jolly CONSERVATIVES to carry my coffin.
Six ANGRY TAXPAYERS to bear up my pall.
Throw hundreds of TAX CUTS ALL over my coffin.
TAX CUTS TO DEADIN OUR COUNTRY’S BAD FALL.”

Then beat the drum slowly, play the Fife lowly.
Play the dead march as you carry me along.
BURY ME ‘NEATH WALL STREET AN lay the sod o’er me,
FOR I WAS JUST PORK LARD and I know I WAS WRONG.
