"THE LINCOLN OBAMITES"  © 2008 Jordan Margolis

(Sung to tune of Lincoln Park Pirates)

The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight,
And lovers a'gazin' at stars,
Grant Park is closin', and Daley is dozin',
And the Thin Man is counting the R's,
And there's more R's than places to put 'em, he says,
But I'm sending them packing for home,
So round 'em up boys, 'cause I'm sick of their noise,
From the White House and Capital Dome....

Today, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Obamites are we,
From ChiTown to Gary, there's nothin' so caring,
As we preserve democracy,
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
We clean up the streets of your town,
Be it W or Cheney, restoring a sane team,
And the world will be cheering us on.

And when all the R's are ejected,
And Fox News is silenced by noon,
Then we'll count all the votes, adding tails to our coats,
"Take that" Sean Hannity goons;
And when the election is won,
And Karl Rove has no more to say,
We've secured our coasts, Rush Limbaugh is toast,
The Grand Old Party is done.

Today, way, hey, tow them away,
The Lincoln Obamites are we,
With Electoral daring, we mix blue with cherry,
And we say "Yes We Can" with glee,
So it's way, hey, tow 'em away,
Now citizens, gather around,
We've all said, "enough", it's time to get tough,
Let's throw the bums out of town!

(Sung to the tune of "Muffin Man")

Have you seen
The missing mail?
The leaking mail?
The sneak-e-mail?

Have you seen
The missing mail?
The White House says is there.

"We Know Who We Are"  © 2006 Jordan Margolis

Hail to the Chief
The Torturer in Chief
Commanding us to water-board our prey

9/11 Grief
Civil Rights Top Thief
Constitution, Evolution, Fate

We won’t recognize
Fear-Mongers, or their lies
Justice For All made this country great

“Throw the bums out” cries
Should silence Cheney’s sighs
We get it, now get out before we hate

"Excuseman’s Ode To Mothers"  © 2006 Jordan Margolis

Mother me
Smother me
Feed me again

Mother me
Cover me
Like my best friend

Be there whenever, wherever I go
Bring care in tether, forever cry low

Carry me always
Once and for all
And I’ll love you, regardless
How seldom I call

"HERE COME SNOOPING SNOWFLAKES"  © 2006 Jordan Margolis

(Sung to the tune of “Here Comes Suzy Snowflake)

Here come snooping snowflakes
Confessed Bush, showing a frown
Tap, tap, tapping your computer screen
To see if you’re in town

If you want to make a phone call
We’ll take a listen, one-two-three
If you want to send an e-mail
We’ll eat your gift cookie

Here comes nosy NSA
Eavesdropping every day
Tap, tap, tapping; mining data bits
Snooping your rights away

"KARL ROVE"  © 2005 Jordan Margolis

(Sung to the tune of "I'll Know" from Guys and Dolls)

I'll blow Mrs. Joe Wilson's job
I'll blow covers bare
I'll blow away CIA snobs
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I can't stop
All is fair
I'm Karl Rove
teaching Bush how to speak
Karl Rove
has no heart
Karl Rove
Bush's brain and right arm
I perform dirty tricks as an art
I won't stop
All is fair
Politics
Requires scare
Yes, I'll blow when my Prez is in prayer




FEAR MORE YEARS! FEAR MORE YEARS!

The 2004 (Pronounced Two Thousand FEAR) elections have given W and his evil-dours their chance to further divide America, but I predict their scare tactics will backfire in the end. However, let us in the MORAL MINORITY reach out in the spirit of reconciliation. So, let's give the Dubya II Administration a Super Pass to say "I Told You So" when the following Bush campaign promises are fulfilled:

1. Bringing the troops home from Iraq;
2. Cutting the deficit in half in 4 years;
3. Capturing or killing Osama bin Laden;
4. Building a true coalition against world terror;
5. Creating democarcies in all the Middle Eastern Arab countries;
6. Helping to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians;
7. Really working for cleaner skies and water;
8. Improving our economy while securing good paying jobs with benefits;
9. Creating more jobs rather than keeping pace with population growth;
10. Appointing Judges without a litmus test on abortion.

Jordan's submission to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's Iraq War Poetry Competition:

DEMOCRAZY  © 2004 Jordan Margolis
Bush 41 drew a line in the sand
which Bush 43 could not understand,
He thundered, then blundered his War On Terror
Now buries the photos of each soldier's pallbearer.


I can't take it anymore. King George has trampled on our democracy ever since his anointment by the Supremes, and words alone fail me, so I must seek political asylum in song. Whenever I see the Pretenders (Dubya and the Dick) on TV, I stick my fingers in my ears and start singing one of the following ditties to drown them out. Try it yourself and let me know if it brings you some consolation until American sanity is restored and these fat-cats are tossed out with their corrupt corporate cronies.


9-11  © 2004 Jordan Margolis
(Sung to the tune of Oklahoma)

9-11
It's my best election strategy,
Terror is the key, for victory
To forgive a bad economy

9-11
It's John Ashcroft's reason to exist
If we dare resist, his traitor list
Our school vouchers will be history

No more civil rights in the land
And all early abortions are banned
So when we pray... to heaven
Then Tom DeLay... starts revin'
Saying, "We'll make 'em pay
9-ll,
9-11's, our day.


DICK, YANK MY CHENEY  © 2004 Jordan Margolis
(Sung to the tune of Luck Be A Lady)

Dick, you're my Cheney tonight
Never stray outta my sight
Dick, screw the media who want only to expose us
Dick, yank their chainies tonight

A Cheney won't divulge a secret
Enron was fair, Ken Lay was nice
The Energy Committee met and split
Now drill through that Alaskan ice

So let's keep our party on top
Even if Rummy's a flop
Whisper your mantra to ensure world domination
Dick, yank their chainies tonight


WHO WILL BUY?  © 2004 Jordan Margolis
(Sung like the song from OLIVER)

Who will buy
this wonderful country?
Donate high
Then ask for the sky
Don't ask why
state services flounder
and treasuries are crum-bl-ing

The Saudis own our banks already
and office buildings too
Since interest rates are low and steady
Al Qaeda's growing too

Who will buy
this crap any longer?
Time to shry
"won't take anymore"
Vote 'em out
send CEO's packing

The USA can't last
If we don't wake up fast
Tell Dubya's boys,
"Get Lost, Good Bye".
