If Linda Ronstadt could have sung at the Cruz announcement at "Liberty" University today

Last edited Wed Mar 25, 2015, 10:31 AM - Edit history (1)

I think the song would have gone like this (sing it to the tune of "Blue Bayou&quot :


Go steal nickels, go steal dimes
Tell them Jeb did some similar crimes
Tell them God said it’s you this time
They won’t buy you

Say it’s time for the G O P
To choose a nut case nominee
Falwell’s ghost pushed your candidacy
But they won’t buy you

Chorus:
Big bucks shy away
Even Kochs will say
They won’t buy you

Go ahead and scream
That you’re not extreme
They won’t buy you

Use your shock and awe
Tell them Harvard Law
Taught you how to make your case

But we see the lies
Behind your shifty eyes
How dumb could we be?


Show up at the big Fox “News” debate
Say Rand Paul is too little too late
Tell why armed intervention is great
But they won’t buy you

Go explain to the G O P
Why they should drink your cold bitter tea.
If they’re sick, it’s what God meant to be?
No, they won’t buy you.

CHORUS:
You’ll cut this out some day
Or you’ll fade away,
We don’t buy you

And your high I Q
Can’t make your lies true.
We don’t buy you.

Maybe mountain goats
Give fictitious votes
And the simple-minded swoon

But the G O P’d lose
If they pick Ted Cruz
How happy we'd be.
...................................

Yes the world would cry
And they'd pass us by
We'd drop many bombs, let sick people die

But the G O P’d lose
If they pick Ted Cruz
How happy we'd be.

Yes, the G O P'd lose
If they pick Ted Cruz
We don't.....buy....YOUUUUU!

You're No Good.

Or Lily Allen could have sung (don't watch if you object to obscenity):

They're all in town right now (except me, of course) and they're gonna try to get studio time to record this!!

If someone knows a photobucket-like website where people can park songs for friends to hear, let me know. If this song gets recorded, I'll make it available.
