The Lyrics
Gore-Bush Presidential Election 2000 with just a few controversial issues, especially in Floida where Bush's brother was governor.
( To the tune of ... billions of dollars ? )
CHORUS:
Beating 'round the W. Bush,
the Donkey raced the Sleaze Hole.
The Elephant bought the critical one:
to the top goes the Diesel.
1: All the chads and all of the votes
that never got recounted,
locked away as evidence,
forever impounded.
2: When your brother owns- a state
delivered on a platter,
maybe ethics aren't first rate,
but what does it matter?
CHORUS:
3: All the costs are now going up,
especially gas and power.
Oil companies raise their cups
to the Man of the Hour!
4: Now you're in, you give to your friends,
to all your business buddies.
If asked about the ozone again,
it needs another study.

It's kinda cute, but I think that all children's songs parodied on this site have the original performer listed as "Traditional."
Happened again in2004. Now 2 senators filing law suit to contest Ohio election results. Nicely written parody.
Actually, your 150 Year Old Children?s Song artist name is quite a funny name!
& NOW Dubya says we are getting too dependent on oil, when gas prices are approaching $4 a gal. Amazing he just figured that one out.
This is funny, but the situation sure wasn't ... & isn't.
