A GOP Lament (to the tune of Doo Wah Diddy Diddy)

Bob Maistros

We cut taxes way back in 2003.
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Left it so they would go back up this January.
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?

What, we govern?

It looked good, LOOKED GOOD.
It looked fine, LOOKED FINE.
It looked good, it looked fine,
Made a nice clean budget line.

Before we knew it we had Speaker Pelosi.
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Pushin’ for spending, just as natural as can be,
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?

She walked on, WALKED ON
To the floor, THE FLOOR.
She walked on to the floor,
Then she spent a little more

Woe-ee-oh, we knew we were falling in debt,
Yes we did, so we’ve come to realize
It was a real bad bet.

Now we’re posturing nearly every single day,
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Taxes are goin’ up, and that’s how they will stay,
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?

What’s yours, WHAT’S YOURS
Is gone, IS GONE
What’s yours is gone
It’s recession on and on.

Woe-ee-oh, we knew things were going downhill,
Yes we did, and so we passed a Wall Street bailout
And sent taxpayers the bill.

We all had seven years to reform the tax code
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Now we’re happy just to go to campaign mode
Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?

You’re screwed, YOU’RE SCREWED
But we’ll win, WE’LL WIN
You’re screwed, but we’ll win
Then we’ll do it all again.

Singin’, ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
Ooh what did we do what dumb did we do?
