The Lyrics
Ballots of dead people were cast in recent Memphis election.
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
All gather round the polling place and cry
Their ballots were real cold,
And they weren't all very old.
Oh why did all these voters have to die?
Have to die!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
They're lookin' oh so peaceful and serene.
They're all laid out to rest
With their ballots "cross their chests
And their fingers on the voting machines.
The machines!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
The cheaters all will cheer for miles around.
The polls in the dell
Will give out a different smell
"Cause the voters are no longer in the ground
In the ground!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
They're lookin' oh so purdy and so nice.
They look like they're asleep.
It's a shame that they won't keep,
But it's Springtime,
And we're runnin' out of ice.
Out of ice!
Some voters are dead.
All gather round the polling place and cry
Their ballots were real cold,
And they weren't all very old.
Oh why did all these voters have to die?
Have to die!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
They're lookin' oh so peaceful and serene.
They're all laid out to rest
With their ballots "cross their chests
And their fingers on the voting machines.
The machines!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
The cheaters all will cheer for miles around.
The polls in the dell
Will give out a different smell
"Cause the voters are no longer in the ground
In the ground!
Voters are dead.
Some voters are dead.
They're lookin' oh so purdy and so nice.
They look like they're asleep.
It's a shame that they won't keep,
But it's Springtime,
And we're runnin' out of ice.
Out of ice!
