Hey, conservative's seem to want to refight Vietnam, where Kerry lost, or some such, not really sure, but, hey, how about a blast from the past, slightly updated for today?

Here it is, comin' at ya, guys and gals. From AM radio, before it became the last bastion of the permanently demented,

"These booths are made for votin'"

(Sing to the tune of "These boots are made for walkin'." With apologies to Nancy Sinatra.)

Bumb-Bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb!

Ba-da. Bumb-Bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-Bumb, ba-da. Bumb.


You keep saying

you got something for us,

Something you call “breaks,”

but confess.

Down at the bottom,

we ain’t getting nothing,

‘Cause your rich friends

is getting all the rest.

These booths are made for voting’

That’s what we’re gonna do.

Come election day,

we’re going in,

And cast a vote ‘ganst you.

Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb!

Ba-da. Bumb-Bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-Bumb, ba-da. Bumb.

Afgan warlords,

running out the doctors,

North Korea,

keeps on building Nukes.

“No Child Left Behind”

is goin’ hungry

Can’t win the peace

‘cause we ain’t got the “boots.”

These booths are made for voting,

That’s what we’re gonna do.

Come election day, we’re going in,

And cast a vote ‘ganst you.

Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb!

Ba-da. Bumb-Bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-Bumb, ba-da. Bumb.

You keep lying

when you oughta be truthin'

You keep thinking

that you’ll never get caught. Ha!

“Mission Accomplished” banner

don’t mean nothing.

Like Sharpton said,

our votes can’t be bought!

These booths are made for voting’

That’s what we’re gonna do.

Come election day, we’re going in,

And cast a vote ‘ganst you.

Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb, Bumb-bumb!

Ba-da. Bumb-Bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-bumb, Ba-da, Bumb-Bumb, ba-da. Bumb.
