The Ballad of Joe Lieberman

Oh I gotta be a Senator
It’s what I’m meant to be
Even our fine President
Does not disagree
Some silly lefty bloggers
Are leading folks astray
And pushing for a Democrat
To take my job away

(chorus)
But it’s my seat dammit
I’ve had it 18 years
And if I don’t win the primary
(the way things now appear)
I’ll change my party status
Make an independent run
‘cause that asinine electorate
Thinks my time is done

Some may say that an election
Should decide the people’s choice
But an election that does not pick me
Will miss some people’s voice
So screw the Dem electorate
What the hell do they know
I know what is best for them
That’s why they call me “holy Joe”

(chorus)
And it’s my seat dammit
I’ve had it 18 years
And if I don’t win the primary
(the way things now appear)
I’ll change my party status
Make an independent run
‘cause that asinine electorate
Thinks my time is done

I’ll change my views on many things
To gain a few more votes
I’ve redefined myself more times
Than I can even quote
Liberal, moderate, conservative
It matters not, you see
As long as I can hold the post
That rightfully belongs to me

(chorus)
'cause it’s my seat dammit
I’ve had it 18 years
And if I don’t win the primary
(the way things now appear)
I’ll change my party status
Make an independent run
‘cause that asinine electorate
Thinks my time is done

(Now I just need to figure out how to create a Flash-based karaoke file so folks can sing along LOL)
