Shuffle Off to Buffalo (with a twist)

Just for fun. A non-political parody! (Didn't know I had it in me, didya?) This happened quite by accident over the weekend. A moment of hilarity from a comment by my dearest friend. I think I'd like this played at my funeral someday. (I always wanted to know how to tap dance...maybe someday....)

To the tune of Shuffle Off to Buffalo
original lyrics by Hal Kemp

a Paddy Whack

Won't you step up to my casket
It's the only time I'll ask it
Now it's dust to soil
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Off I'm gonna shuffle
Shuffle off this mortal coil.

No Viagra or Cialis

Needed in my brand new palace
Ain't that apropos?
oooh oooh Oooh!
Off I'm gonna shuffle
Shuffle to that golden glow.

Today, Grim Reaper paid a visit
And made the outcome crystal clear
Just a moment quite exquisite
But you can join me later, dear.

Now I'm singing like Cole Porter
No more home of bricks and mortar
'Cause it's time to go
oh oh oh
Off I'm gonna shuffle
Shuffle off and do-si-do.

You might think that I'm just napping
But in Heaven I'll be tapping
Dancing heel-to-toe
oh oh oh
Off I'm gonna shuffle
Shuffle off so, Cheerio!

Blue Hawaii (Blew Hawaii)

"Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is considering at least a short delay to the start of his holiday vacation in Hawaii so he can try to work out a deal with congressional Republicans on the Bush tax cuts that expire December 31, CNN has learned.

Two senior administration officials tell CNN the White House has been getting signals that the lame duck session of Congress could drag on past December 18, when the president is scheduled to depart for Hawaii.

Obama has privately said he is willing to stay in Washington until Christmas Eve if necessary to finish the contentious debate over taxes, the officials said.

While administration officials do not expect that Obama will have to stay in town until Christmas Eve, which he did last year because of health care reform, they believe there could be a delay of at least a couple of days."

Blew Hawaii (Made famous by Elvis)
A Paddy Whack

Just for you, I blew Hawaii
Those mid-terms now are past
And Lame-Duck's chappin' my ass

Just for you, I blew Hawaii
Now it is my last chance
To nail things down.

Don't you see, they should all consider me
Why should we... delay our plans?

Just for you, I blew Hawaii
Just one more DREAM will do
And then I'll fly

to HI

it's true.

AMERICA

AMERICA

a Paddy Whack

Far
We're not travelling far
TSA's wrong
I think I'll take the car

FREE
We no longer live free
All our liberties lost
Bye American Dream

In the fields and on the planes
It's coming to America
Losing what we fought to gain
It's coming to America

Home, now it seems so far away
No one traveling there today
It's the eye of the storm
It's the eye of the storm

Rome, once a new and shiny place
Of its grandeur not a trace
Coming here so be warned
Coming here so be warned

Everywhere around the world
They're laughing at America
Terror Lemmings of the world
They're laughing at America

Got a dream I'd like to share
We must preserve America
To fight the Left I pledge and swear
We must preserve America

We must preserve America
We must preserve America
We must preserve America
We must preserve America
Today, Today, today, today, today

My country's liberty
(today)
Now under tyranny
(today)
Of thee I sing
(today)
Let Freedom Ring!
(Today)

Bend At the Spine, If you Decline

Johnny Cash's I WALK THE LINE

Bend at the Spine, If you Decline!
A Paddy Whack

They keep a close watch on this airport line
They keep their eyes wide open all the time
And if you Opt Out TSA's guideline
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

Our Constitution makes this very clear
No search and seizure! Fourth Amendment here!
Who is the cause of all this strife and fear?
At the airline, freedom resign.

As sure as liquid's wet and files are sharp
No comfort food or tools, they must depart
Take off your shoes because they aren't so smart
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

If you are Arab, or wear a hijab
You are exempt, it's not the screener's job
Napolitano's orders are macabre
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

They keep a close watch on your private parts
And if you opt out frisk and search will start
Two hours to clear the line til you depart
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

Here we come a Wassailing - a parody

Here We Come A Borrowing
a Paddy Whack


Here we come a-borrowing
Because we are so 'green'
Here we come a squandering
The A-mer-i-can Dream.


Debt for all comes to you
Tax for all your children too
And we'll rob you, and send you
Where Rome has gone before
Vote us out or we will be back for more.


Here we come a-cowering
Free speech is in our sights
Here we come a-glowering
At the 'extremist' Right.


Debt for all comes to you
Tax for all your children too
And we'll rob you, and send you
Where Rome has gone before
Vote us out or we will be back for more.

Because of You

BECAUSE OF YOU

BECAUSE OF ME

(As sung by Obama, Pelosi and Reid)
A Paddy Whack

Because of me our health care's in decline
Because of me there's a new party line
Because of me the dye is cast
Free land of Liberty is past
Those cars now, those czars now are mine.

You'll only live with the power I decree
No paradise now, No land of the free
Because of me the USA's in debt
And you can bet,
Because of me


------ instrumental break ------

You'll only live with the power I decree
No paradise now, No land of the free
Because of me the USA's in debt
And you can bet,
Because of me

the Bonanza Theme

A Paddy Whack!

The Bonanza Theme

We count the days
Til we erase the phrase
Obama!
Now we can Hope
To overthrow this joke
Voting for Liberty

Voters high
Vengance nigh
Soon they'll lose their seat!
No more Lies
Freedom Flies
When they taste defeat!

Here we stand
At the crossroads for our grand
Old Nation!
If we don't
Send the message: No We Won't
We'll lose our Liberty

Don't hesitate
Marxists waiting at the gate
Remember!
Get out and vote
I am done with Barry's Hope
Preserve our Liberty!
