DeLaying Tactics Natur'lly
(Sung to the tune "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly")

Tom DeLay was making hay
   untill the opposition
Said, "What you've done cannot be done
   by one in your position."

His pals said, "Shucks, Tom, that rule sucks.
   Don't get yourself excited.
We'll pass a rule so any fool
   can serve though he's indicted.

Tom said, "Thanks, what if those cranks
   judge I should go to prison
When you and I can plainly see
   I lined my pockets natur'lly?

Whereupon each future con
   could see the danger lurking:
"What was a crime won't be next time.
   Some laws require reworking."

Will Tom DeLay call it a day,
   or legislate his freedom,
Changing laws that don't give pause
   to efforts to un-seed him?
