The Ballad of Tom DeLay
The Ballad of Tom DeLay
Sung to the tune of “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood


If tomorrow all the schemes were gone
I'd set up carefully,
And I had to start again
with just the oil and gas lobby,
I'd thank my wealthy pals
for my golden parachute.
Cause corruption equals profit
And this great big bag of loot.

And I'm proud to be a Republican
With a private armory
And I won't forget the CEOs
Who gave my seat to me
And I gladly hand out
big tax cuts and do favors every day
Cause there ain't no doubt I own this town
God bless the NRA

From insurgents in Fallujah
To car bombs on the roads
We flee from Sadr City
As the whole damn place explodes
They hate us for our freedom
Those ungrateful I-raq-eees
And now there’s hatred in every Islamic heart
That we can’t make go away.

And I'm proud to be a Republican
With a private armory
And I won't forget the CEOs
Who gave my seat to me
And I gladly hand out
big tax cuts and do favors every day
Cause there ain't no doubt I own this town
God bless the NRA

5. Excellent!
Now you have to get someone to record it. Who would be a worthy candidate?

Okay, so you'll run into legal issues. But try it anyway...
