"The Killer D's of Texas"
Tune: "The Yellow Rose of Texas"
Words copyright 2003 Steve Brooks
Oh, the Killer D's of Texas,
Are going on a tour.
Don't bother trying to find them,
Down on the Senate floor.
They've gone across the border,
Down Albuquerque way.
And the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.
When the governor of Texas
Was putting in the fix,
He drew a map that looked like
A pile of pick-up sticks.
He tried to slip it through in
The session's waning days,
But the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.
They crossed the old Red River,
Holed up in a motel.
They busted up the session,
Told the governor, "Go to hell."
He went and called another,
But a dozen wouldn't play.
So, the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.
Back at the Grand Old Party,
Tom Delay was turning green.
And so was old Rick Perry,
His faithful Gunga Din.
He called them back to Austin,
But they flew the other way,
And the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.
Far from the state of Texas,
The D's have gone on strike
For democracy and justice,
And the sake of voting rights.
However long it takes them,
That how long they're gonna stay,
Till the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.
Now, Democrats of Texas,
We've had a losing streak.
But no more will we be Bushwhacked
Or turn the other cheek.
We'll win the next election,
'Cause crime no longer pays
Since the Killer D's of Texas
Put the sting on Tom DeLay.

In the past century, Van de Putte said, no state has changed congressional districts in the middle of a decade without a court order to do so.
In other words, he lied.

"The Killer D's of Texas"
Tune: "The Yellow Rose of Texas"
Words copyright 2003 SChad Fairbanks
Oh, the killer D's of Texas,
Are running away.
They don't act like real Texans,
so who needs 'em anyway.
They fled across the border,
to avoid a little fray.
And the killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay.
When the governor of Texas
was expecting maturity.
all he got from the democrats,
was severe infantality.
So they slipped across the border,
before the session got underway,
Cuz the Killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay.
They crossed the old Red River,
& holed up on the public dime.
Getting paid to represent Texans,
while they have a grand old time.
Protected by state troopers,
to keep the public at bay.
The Killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay.
Back in the STate of Texas,
the work ain't being done.
While everyone else is working hard,
the democrats are having fun.
They, too, should be in Austin,
but they all ran away,
cuz the Killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay.
Far from the state of Texas,
The D's have gone on strike,
like their commie union brothers,
claiming to care about voting rights.
All they know is obstruction,
it's their method of normal play,
cuz the Killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay.
Now, Democrats of Texas,
you've got a Yellow Streak.
It's about a mile wide,
and does it ever reek.
You'll lose the next election,
cuz crime no longer pays.
Yeah, the Killer D's of Texas
are afraid of Tom Delay...

Demo senators strike note of defiance in maintaining holdout
(Chicken Run Official Song...) Several senators sang along with visiting guitarist Steve Brooks, who wore a Killer Ds T-shirt referring to the flight to Oklahoma of 51 House Democrats in May to stop congressional redistricting during the regular legislative session. The song, sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas," begins: Oh, the Killer D's of Texas are going on a tour. Don't bother trying to find them down on the Senate floor. They crawled across the border, down Albuquerque way, and the Killer D's of Texas put the sting on Tom DeLay.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas or General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

And, the bastards get away with it!! Everyday they are gone another group of idiots turn 18 and will vote in lockstep for these imbeciles. The only good news is that their voters march in an endless stream to prison.

My letter to the editor of the SAEN;
So, they sang a song calling Governor Perry Gunga Din to Tom Delay? And Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
