Tom Paxton In Florida Lyrics
Folks in Florida cast their votes,
As all good citizens do.
In West Palm Beach, the ballots read,
'To vote for One, punch Two.
And once you've punched it, punch it again,
And give it another good push.
You thought you voted for Gore -- surprise!!
You cast your ballot for Bush.'
Chorus:
In Florida the sun is shining,
It's early bird dining,
And early to bed.
The Republicans
Said, 'Stop the counting.
Gore's total is mounting --
Let's quit while we're ahead.'
Katherine Harris hit the switch,
Saying, 'This vote's certified,'
Off the Democrats went to court;
'Unfair!' the Republicans cried.
A hundred million votes were cast --
Including yours and mine--
But in the end the only ones
That counted numbered nine. (To Chorus)
The boys and girls in black robes met
And held a tug of war.
And when they cast their votes at last
Bush won it, 5 to 4.
Five judges selected the president --
Five judges had their way --
And I expect they'll all retire
To Florida some day. (To Chorus)
