One Vote Counts
(Sung to the tune "The Lady Is A Tramp")

Who's undecided as they race to the wire?
Iraqi fantasies that always misfire –
A proven hero vs. dodging-the-draft –
Guess who I want on my raft?

Will our votes matter unless we're from a state
As undecided as J Lo and mate?
They reassure us that recounts will count
In Florida's that's paramount.

That makes me wonder why Judge Sanders Saul
Ixnayed those recounts till they shouted air ball –
It didn't stick and he was soon overruled,
But we were totally fooled.

It turned out there was only one vote they'd need.
Not yours or mine although we'd prob'ly agreed –
Who cast the one vote that proved so enormous?
The Bushes' main man, Clarence Thomas!

He was the King Maker,
Extraordinaire,
Despite the affair
Anita laid bare.

This next election why waste millions on ads?
Or be concerned about more Florida chads?
The only voter that they need influence
Will be the infamous Clarence.
