Mild editing:
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of election fuss.
That started out in Washington,
Aboard a campaign bus.
The President with quotes was weak,
The V. P. might be sure,
Five other pols set off that day,
For a three state tour, a three state tour………
The ratings started getting rough,
The Robo-polls were tossed.
If not for the charm of John Edwards,
Battlegrounds would be lost; Battlegrounds would be lost.
The bus took pause on the streets of some idyllic midwest town,
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The Millionaire, and his Wife,
The Movie Star,
the Professor, and Mary Ann,
Here in Altas-i-a
And for a real twist, sing the first three verses to the tune of
Amazing Grace.
