Melody: Oklahoma
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO —
Fil-li-bus-ter, to prevent DEM laws from being passed.
You can troll, any gun control, who minds flags flying at half-mast?
Fil-li-bus-ter, must voting rights be guaranteed?
Let the states excise the franchise and simply follow Georgia’s lead.
Mitch wants us to cause gridlock.
And Manchin sides with our bloc.
And when we cheer,
That we can stall four years.
We’re only sayin’
Well invoke you, Fil-li-buster,
Fillibuster, Foul play, No yea, Inveigh, No way.
Filibuster OK
