For the One Nation March

From the Finale ONE A Chorus Line

[One Nation Marchers]

One March upon our nation
No more baby-step mistakes
One March for we Progressives
We'll do all that it takes
One March On Washington, We're here to see it through
You know Those TEA Party marches were just Doo-Doo

He walks into a room
And you know
He's uncommonly bright, healthy physique
His teleprompter will help him to speak
He walks into a room
and you know from his
Arrogant pose, mouth in a curl
He's the Duke of Hurl
Bowl-ing,
Can't, Help,
All of his qualities bemoan-ing.
Where is his charisma when he's a
Tax Money-laundering, socialist gambler?

One moment with Obama
And we're sure he'll pass the test
And we'll soon restrain the rest
No Guns! Son!

Ooooh! My! Communist intention
Do I really have to mention?
He's the One?!

[TEA Party]

One? What a silly notion
We've been marching all year long
One? such a big commotion
To bad they are all wrong!
One March and suddenly they think we'll all agree
One March and they think their coffee's as good as TEA!

One! Moment left for Congress
'Cause we think they failed the test.
Voting day will put to rest
EACH ONE
Son!

Oooh! Sigh! They have our attention
Do...I...really have to mention?
He's No 'One?
'

Circle of Life Parody: Our Great Liberty

From my book! Try it, you'll like it! Parody of Circle of Life (Lion King) Elton John and Tim Rice

Our Great Liberty
A Paddy Whack

[chant]
Come on our life is just so sweet here
Oh yes, the USA's a leader
(repeat)

[begin music]
From the day we arrived in this nation
Where from many, we became One
We've loved liberty and equality
To defend our home has got to be done!

There's too much at stake to surrender
For defense, we must remain strong
Hold your banners high
Say "Live Free or Die"
Raise your voice in pledge and in song!

We enjoy living free
And it lifts us all
From despair and hope
With faith and love
Til a beacon we'll be
The whole world yearning
For our Freedom!
Our Great Liberty!

We enjoy living free
And it lifts us all
From Despair into Hope
With Faith and Love!
Til a beacon we'll be
The whole world yearning
For our Freedom!
Our Great Liberty!

ROCK THE VOTE!

Rock the Vote
From: Hues Corporation #1 Hit "Rock the Boat"

A Paddy Whack

So we'd like to show that, we have emotion
So we'd like to show that, we have the notion

To Rock the Vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the vote, we'll tip the Dems over
Rock the vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the Vo-oh-oh-oh-ote!

Ever since the U.S.A. began
We've fought to keep this strong and prosperous land
She has been our hope from sea to shining sea
Our strength is in our nation that will set you free
Our country needs our love and devotion
We must halt the loss of liberty that is now in motion!

So we'd like to show that, we have emotion
So we'd like to show that, we have the notion

To Rock the Vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the vote, we'll tip the Dems over
Rock the vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the Vo-oh-oh-oh-ote!

Our ship of state has sailed through every storm
And we want someone who'll steer her safely from now on
Oh we need to keep her strong and bold and free
Don't let it drift away, you hear? When TEA Party is YOU.
Our Country needs our love and devotion
We must halt the loss of Liberty that is now in motion!

So we'd like to show that, we have emotion
So we'd like to show that, we have the notion

To Rock the Vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the vote, we'll tip the Dems over
Rock the vote, we'll rock the vote baby
Rock the Vo-oh-oh-oh-ote!

Try in November





Music: Harvey Schmidt
Lyrics: Tom Jones
Book: Tom Jones
Premiere: Tuesday, May 3, 1960


Try In NOvember
A Paddy Whack

Try in November, it's time to remember
When We were Free. No Flags were Yellow
Try in November, it's time to remember
When we all drank that Kool-Aid Jello
Try in November, It's Time to Remember
When all we elected that shallow fellow
Try in November, and if you remember
Then Swallow.

Swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow Swallow, swallow, swallow swallow.

Try to remember, that vote last November
That made us weep into our pillow
Try to remember, that Vote last November
That Dream of Hope a peccadillo
Try to remember the kind of November
When Tea Was a Party about to Billow
Try to remember ! Drink TEA this November
And Swallow!

Swallow (repeats)

Seek this November, we all must remember
Although you know B.O. Will 'foller'
Seek in November, we all must remember
Without a vote we all must 'swaller'
Seek in November a kinder December
And Fire the Pretender that made us 'holler'
Seek this November
We all must Remember
And swallow!

A lullaby for my friends.

Based on Little Surfer Girl by the Beach Boys
Written especially for Jen, Justin and Jack on the occasion of Jack's birth.

Precious Little One (a lullaby)


Welcome precious little one
Made our hearts come all undone
Welcome precious, welcome little one
(little one, our precious little one)

I have waited for so long
Just to find this love so strong
Welcome precious, welcome little one
(little one, little one)

We're gonna face the world together
Mom and Dad, while you grow
In my arms I will hold you
Always so you'll know

So I say from me to you
You are like a dream come true
I Do Love You, love you little one
(little one, my precious little one)

I love you, ah-ahh (repeat)

Teleprompter Song


Here is a rework of a song parody from my book.

Teleprompter Song (the Wichita Lineman/Glenn Campbell)

I am Obama's Teleprompter
I'm the brain that you seek
You would laugh if you could hear
Obama, actually speak

You see he is a dandy liar
Prepared answers rule the day
And this great Teleprompter
Tells him what he has to say!!

He never takes me on Vacation
And that suits me just fine
This part-time job is fine with me
I don't need lobster and wine

And I go to every meeting
I stand tall and lead the way
And this Great Teleprompter
Tells him what he has to say!!
