The Republican Song (Banjo Version)
Art Paul Schlosser · Leftovers [2008]
The Republicans are over here
The Republicans are over there
And before you know it theres going to be a Republican beer
The Republicans are in our schools
The Republicans are in churches too
And before you know it they'll be selling you Republican underwear
Yeah !
Don't look under the bed
You don't know what you'll find
And in the mirror-in the mirror is there a Republican ?
Are you a Republican ?
Are you a Republican ?
Yeah ! I heard Republicans are rich and I need a big tip
so if your a republican give me a $20 or a $50
Yeah !
Are you a Republican ?
Are you a Republican ?
I heard Republicans are rich
and if your a Republican I hope you'll give a big tip
I'm not talking about a $5
I'm not talking about a $10
No how about a hundred dollar bill-
hey if your a republican why aren't you generous ?
