The Right To Own A Gun *
Sung to Irving Berlin's tune "You Can't Get A Man With A Gun"

Perhaps it's time to figger those who want to pull a trigger
   should be allowed to own a gun.
If a semi-auomatic gets them voting Democratic,
   let's give them all the right to own a gun.

If the Bush assault on nature makes a Democratic slate yer
   choice if it would be pro-gun,
Could be time to be pragmatic, so they'll all vote Democratic,
   by giving them the right to own a gun.

If he's shooting his own cattle, we should be the last to tattle.
   It could mean a lot more steak for ev'ryone.
If a gun makes him ecstatic so he's voting Democratic,
   why not give the guy the right to own a gun?

Own a gun –
Bush is done?
By giving them the right to own a gun.

Is the right to own a rifle any more than just a trifle
   compared with all that Bush has done?
Gun control is symptomatic of not voting Democratic?
   Then it's time to let those fellers own a gun.

When a shooter is mistaken and hits what will be bacon,
   it's much less of a problem than the one
Where Bush decides who's legal vs. those who must spread-eagle,
   so why ban any man who will plan to vote against him
   if we agree he's got the right to own a gun?
