Here we come a-caroling

http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- HAPPY DECEMBER! There’s nothing quite as festive as a few holiday songs to get the true spirit of the season underway. So, in keeping with the season (and the current situation) I offer up my versions of some traditional Christmas carols. Ready? Grab your songbook, put on your mittens and scarf, and let’s go caroling!


“Fill The Courts”
(to the tune of “Deck The Halls)


Fill the courts with Al Gore’s folly,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Litigate and don’t be jolly,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Spin the truth and change the system,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Take the laws and simply twist ‘em,
Fa, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.


“Joe Lieberman”
(to the tune of “O Tannenbaum”)


Joe Lieberman, Joe Lieberman,
What happened to your values?
Joe Lieberman, Joe Lieberman,
How did you lose your values?
Does counting votes at any cost,
Make up for all your ethics lost?
Joe Lieberman, Joe Lieberman,
We wish you had your values.


“It’s Beginning To Look Like Al Gore’s Crazy”
(to the tune of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas”)

It’s beginning to look like Al gore’s crazy,
More and more each day.
Take a look at him on TV
Smiling at you and me,
Just giggling with nothing much to say.
It’s beginning to look like Al Gore’s crazy,
Sweat from every pore.
He says we need to count the votes,
then recount all the votes,
Then count and count the bloody votes some more.
It’s beginning to look like Al Gore’s crazy,
Pleading every day,
“Just another week or so,
And I’ll find the votes I know,
There’s just gotta be a way.”
Would someone please take Al Gore away?


“Economic Slump”
(to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”)

Dimpled chads, are you countin’?
On Wall Street, tension’s mountin’
Another fine mess, we continue I guess,
Headin’ for an economic slump.
Gore contests the election,
As we near a recession,
With all that we’ve got, we won’t have a pot,
Headin’ for an economic slump.


“Ballot Cards”
(to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)


Dashing through the state,
With a motorcade of cops,
Is a caravan of trucks,
Ignoring all the stops;
A million ballot cards,
Are Tallahassee bound,
As the country sits and watches,
Piles of chads spill on the ground!
Ballot cards! Ballot cards!
Ballots everywhere.
Count ‘em in the districts,
On the land and in the air.
Ballot cards! Ballot cards!
How long will it take,
Before the voters get fed up
And throw the lawyers in the lake?
