"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 D’s” 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.

Heheheh...someone needs to send that to "The Hammer". I bet he would laugh his [choose your own anatomical reference] off.

[wysiwyg]

ROFL! That's great, but how about changing "Killer" to "Chicken?" LOL

Brilliant rewrite! Towards the end of the civil war a final stanza was added to the Yellow Rose of Texas about the troops heading home. It read:

And now I'm going southward
for my heart is full of woe,
I'm going back to Texas,
to see my Uncle Joe.
You may talk about your Beauregard, and sing of Bobbie Lee,
But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee.

To that end and if I may propose it, the following could be used as a final stanza at the time they surrender to authorities and return to Austin:

And now they're heading homeward
Their hearts are full of woe
We'll drag em back to Texas
In cuffs and chains you know
You may talk about your Hildebeast, and sing of Gov'nor Gray,
But the Chicken D's of Texas, they're afraid of Tom DeLay
