The Lyrics
I don't know if it's a rule of democracy in every nation that the postal service must fudge up the elections - but it seems common enough to deserve this hastily written list parody for you Americans.

Votes are in the mail
Everywhere they can be found
Votes are in the mail
Every office, every town
And they're coming from voters on skid row
Coming from voters who died
Yes, they're coming from voters in loon' bins
And they're slower than mail-order brides
Votes are in the mail
From the mountains and the sea
Votes are sent by snail
Postal service guarantee
And they're coming by day and evening
Coming by car or plane
Yes, they're coming from miners and has-beens
And from Russia, Iran and Ukraine
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail
Ballot counting's overrun
Votes are in the mail
It's a snail mail hit and run
And they come from all over the union
Days late they're coming through
Yes, they come from your uncle and new twin
That until now was unknown to you
Votes are in the mail
Everywhere they are inbound
Votes are in the mail
The uncounted heap's profound
And they're coming from postal work chop shops
Coming from mailmen on high
One was found under Uncle Sam's foreskin
Where he kept a reserve on the sly
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Everywhere they can be found
Votes are in the mail
Every office, every town
And they're coming from voters on skid row
Coming from voters who died
Yes, they're coming from voters in loon' bins
And they're slower than mail-order brides
Votes are in the mail
From the mountains and the sea
Votes are sent by snail
Postal service guarantee
And they're coming by day and evening
Coming by car or plane
Yes, they're coming from miners and has-beens
And from Russia, Iran and Ukraine
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail
Ballot counting's overrun
Votes are in the mail
It's a snail mail hit and run
And they come from all over the union
Days late they're coming through
Yes, they come from your uncle and new twin
That until now was unknown to you
Votes are in the mail
Everywhere they are inbound
Votes are in the mail
The uncounted heap's profound
And they're coming from postal work chop shops
Coming from mailmen on high
One was found under Uncle Sam's foreskin
Where he kept a reserve on the sly
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
Votes are in the mail!
