"The Tea Party Chorus" (à la Gilbert and Sullivan)

The Tea Party Chorus

A libretto by Tim Abbott

(With apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan and my right-of-center friends.  Who loves ya, Baby?)

 

From the Right of the Republic

We’re tri-cornered as can be!

We wave the flag and our tea bags

At  Washington, D.C.

We do the Limbaugh Limbo

And we’re at the call of Beck.

We raise our fists at Socialists,

We’re madly mad as heck.

 

(chorus):

When there’s Shiites in our bedsheets,

‘Bama bailing out our spreadsheets,

Then we‘ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!

(yes we’ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!)

 

We don’t demand Miranda rights

For every terrorist.

Just like the Founding Fathers

We’re Guerrillas in the Mist.

We’re Right, and tight, and mostly white

But free of prejudice.

We’re offended by “Teabagger”

(Though we don’t know what that is)!

 

(chorus):

When Obamacare’s solution

Violates the Constitution,

Then we‘ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!

(yes we’ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!)

 

On a mission for emissions

That no one may cap and trade,

We’ve got Ron Paul ‘stead of Rupaul

Heading up our Pride Parade.

So when Birchers turn to Birthers

Sure to stir a Patriot’s blood,

You can keep your Samuel Adams;

For our movement moves with Bud!

 

Chorus):

When economies are failin’

What you need is Sarah Palin!

Then we‘ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!

(yes we’ll march there like a March Hare

And we’ll have a Tea Partee!)

[Tim Abbott]

It is possible he is tone deaf. But fear not. I am a bipartisan lampooner. I am working on the next such melody, involving beer summits and Nobel Peace Prizes.

Is TH whistling this yet?
