CHRISTMAS WITH A SPIN

I just thought I would put a little contemporary spin on some old Christmas carols in the light of last night’s health care vote. I figure our Democrat friends will need a little holiday cheer to warm them while they commit political suicide.
Enjoy, and please feel free to pass the link to these along to everyone you know. Who knows, maybe we can get Congress to sing a different tune next year . . . after all . . . it will soon be election time again!

OH CONGRESSMAN
(Sung to the tune of Oh Tannenbaum)

Oh Congressman, Oh Congressman, I don’t think you are listening.
Oh Congressman, Oh Congressman, Your recent votes are blistering.
About health care, we’ve told you “no”, but you decided we can go . . .
Oh Congressman, Oh Congressman, in twenty-ten you’re history!

SENATORS
(Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Senators, senators, lined up in a row,
Taking money for their votes, acting just like hoe-oh’s
Senators, senators, lies on every breath,
Telling us it’s for our good, they’re spending us to death.

SILENT NIGHT
(Congressional Version)

Silent Night, what a sight,
The Senate works to solve their plight,
Reid’s round minions are voting his way,
While conservatives can’t get a say,
Sixty votes and it’s over,
The young and the aged are screwed!

THE TWELVE DAYS IN CONGRESS
(Sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas)

On the last day in session the Congress gave to me,
Five tax increases,
Four clunker autos,
Three dead banks,
Two waning wars,
And a bill that our children can’t pay!

PLEASE REST YOU SCARY GENTLEMEN
(Sung to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

Please rest you scary gentlemen you’re causing me dismay,
For you are spending trillions to steal my means away,
The President says share the wealth, and congress does his bid,
Oh hiding behind the last admin, so you say,
Oh hiding behind the Bush admin.

OH HOLY COW
(Sung to Oh Holy Night)

Oh holy cow, my money you are spending,
It’s not your right to ignore our request.
We said vote “no”, but pride is never ending,
And now you’ve gone and sold us down the stream,
Once health care’s won, your days in power are numbered,
In twenty-ten, we’ll vote you on your way,
So fall on your knees, and pray that you survive it,
Or go-oh,
With the polls,
Turn around,
Before you’re gone,
Or please resign,
Oh please, please resign!

OH LITTLE TOWN OF WASHINGTON
(Sung to Oh Little Town of Bethlehem)

Oh little town of Washington how long we’ve see thee lie,
With what you’ve done most recently, there’s little question why,
By ruining our health care, you prove just who you are,
With bribes and payoffs by the score,
Next year we’ll say goodbye!

OFF TO THE SENATE
(Sung to Up On the Rooftop)

Off to the Senate, quick, quick, quick,
Congress thinks they are Saint Nick,
Giving to those who they need for power,
They steal from the rich with every hour.
Hoe, Hoe, Hoe, we all know
Hoe, Hoe, Hoe, They all gotta go-oh,
Off to the hilltop oh so slick,
The way they vote it makes you sick!

I’M DREAMING OF A SLIGHT CHRISTMAS
(Sung to White Christmas)

I’m dreaming of a slight Christmas,
Not like the ones I used to know.
Where I once had money, and things were sunny,
But after April I don’t know.
I’m dreaming of a slight Christmas,
With every quarterly I send.
With my reps not listening or care,
Looks like my whole Christmas will be bare.

HERE COMES THE PRESIDENT
(Sung to Here Comes Santa Claus)

Here comes Santa Claus, looks like the President, coming from Washington,
He’s got money from my wallet, will this ever end?
There’s no reason for this thievery, except to make him king.
It’s all for power and his glory, while we’re all suffering!

I WONDER AS I WANDER
(The carol to Fannie and Freddie)

I wonder as I wander through what’s left of my home,
It’s deep in foreclosure and I’m all alone,
The President promised no mortgage for me,
But my bank and my lender they all disagree!
Was it not that the rich folk were all there to pay,
As the rest of us squander in usual ways,
But most rich are leaving and the rest become poor,
No wonder the economy has sunk through the floor!

JOY TO THE OBAMA WORLD
(Sung to Joy to the World)

Joy to the world, Obama has come,
And said, “It’s all ok,”
The banks are bleeding,
And GDP receding,
But the wonders of his name,
In a teleprompted fame,
Do nothing, oh nothing,
To bring us gain.


“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a . . . ‘Good Heavens!’”
