Parody Written by:
William Tong
The Lyrics
Satire written in April 2000, about Elian Gonzalez and Republican attempts to keep him from reuniting with his Cuban father
(instrumental intro)
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
Oh... they claim Elian's fine
Is this foreign policy
Just staged for Election Day?
They say they're "pro-family"
But they'd keep the boy's father away
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
Oh... they claim Elian's fine
I just can't believe this show
It's not so strange to say
That the press whores sank so low
They'd lie in a serious way
And, of course, this in prime time runs
Over and over again
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
But the father and child reunion
Is only a moment away
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
Oh... they claim Elian's fine
Is this foreign policy
Just staged for Election Day?
They say they're "pro-family"
But they'd keep the boy's father away
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
Oh... they claim Elian's fine
I just can't believe this show
It's not so strange to say
That the press whores sank so low
They'd lie in a serious way
And, of course, this in prime time runs
Over and over again
These Republicans are all dopes
They're deranged because they say
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
That the father and child reunion
Should remain an ocean away
But the father and child reunion
Is only a moment away
