A Democrat With an Idea?
To be sung with Frank Sinatra to the tune
"It Was A Very Good Year"

Suppose a Democrat
   ever had the idea
He should have an idea
   about innocent girls,
Concerned with their rights
   and hot summer nights,
Would they be seventeen
And wild for Howard Dean?

Or could a Democrat
   also have the idea
He should have an idea
   about more mature gals,
Who are, quote unquote,
   old enough to vote,
Well, at least twenty one,
Who'll know that Dean is done?

Why would that Democrat
   with the better idea
Now squander that idea?
Doesn't he know
   that Dean should go
Along with Lieberman,
   Kerry, Kennedy and Gore
And prob'ly many more
Whose concern's to stay alive
While they act ninety-five?

But now the days grow short
On what could be a good year
To kick Republicans
   in their vulnerable cans
Although the public is
   more and more pro life.

Yet with Democratic dregs
   on their wobbly legs,
Who still have no idea
   of what we want to hear,
It might not be that good a year.
