A Brief Lyric (11/7/06)

A Brief Lyric On The Occasion of the Democrats Recapturing Control of the U.S. House of Representatives After 14 Years of Republican Mismanagement, Incompetence, Corruption, and Dereliction of Duty

The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Subpoena,
Subpoena, Subpoena, Subpoena . . .

Watch Republicans freak at a single word:
Subpoena,
Subpoena, Subpoena, Subpoena . . .

Subpoena!
The Dems finally get to subpoena,
And oversight will be
So painful for the GOP.

Subpoena!
They'll long for the days of Katrina.
Gonzales will work late,
To get his stories straight,
You'll see.

Subpoena!
Say it loud and Karl Rove starts forgetting,
Say it soft and watch Tony Snow sweating.

Subpoena!
Dick Cheney will choke on subpoenas.

The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Subpoena.
