IN FLORIDA
FColks in Florida cast their vFotes
As Call good ciGtizens Cdo
In West Palm Beach, the ballots Fread
'To vCote for One, punch TGwo
And Fonce you've punched it, pCunch it again,
And give it another good Gpush
You Cthought you voted for Gore, surpFrise!!
You Ccast your balGlot for BuCsh.'
In FFlorida the sun is sChining
It's early bird Gdining
And early to Cbed
The ReFpublicans said: “Stop the cCounting”
Gore's total is mGounting
Let's quit while we're Cahead
KatCherine Harris hit the swFitch
SayiCng, 'This vGote's certifCied
Off the Democrats went to cFourt
Like heCll the Republicans cGried
A hFundred million vCotes were cast
Including yours and mGine
But Cin the end the only oFnes
That Ccounted nuGmbered Cnine
ThCe boys and girls in black robes Fmet
And Cheld a Gtug of Cwar
And when they cast their votes at Flast
Bush won Cit, 5 to G4
Five Fjudges selected the prCesident
Five judges had their Gway
And CI expect they'll all reFtire
To CFloriGda some Cday

IN FLORIDA

Folks in Florida cast their votes

C G C

As all good citizens do

In West Palm Beach, the ballots read

And once you've punched it, punch it again,

And give it another good push

You thought you voted for Gore, surprise!!

C G C

You cast your ballot for Bush.'

In Florida the sun is shining

It's early bird dining

And early to bed

F C

The Republicans said: “Stop the counting”

Gore's total is mounting

Let's quit while we're ahead

C F

Katherine Harris hit the switch

C G C

Saying, 'This vote's certified

Off the Democrats went to court

Like hell the Republicans cried

F C

A hundred million votes were cast

Including yours and mine

C F

But in the end the only ones

C G C

That counted numbered nine

C F

The boys and girls in black robes met

C G C

And held a tug of war

And when they cast their votes at last

C G

Bush won it, 5 to 4

F C

Five judges selected the president

Five judges had their way

C F

And I expect they'll all retire

C G C

To Florida some day
