Okay, so it got rather boring today at work, and this happened in my head.

It's political, so if you're not interested, go read something else.

Feel free to pass it along--just give me credit for the lyrics. If you hear from Paul Simon and he sounds grumpy, tell him, a) that this falls under the category of parody and b) I have no intention of recording it or making any money off of it whatsoever.

If he still sounds grumpy, don't tell him where I live.



Joe the Plumber by Randy Farran (to the tune of the “The Boxer” by P. Simon)


I am Joe the Plumber,
Now my story has been told
Of how I asked Obama
How could I buy my comp’ny underneath his plan.
I must admit, I wasn’t truthful,
And I tried so hard to make the man look bad,
But now the truth is out; you’ve all been had!

Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie lie,
Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie....

I’m not licensed as a plumber,
And I owe back taxes too,
And it’s under Barack’s plan that I would benefit.
Despite these facts, McCain and Palin
At every whistlestop, my name they will invoke.
--I’d better add, I’m not registered to vote.

Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie....

So I am just a liar,
A glory-seeking fraud,
That the GOP still uses me
Says something very deep about their character,
And yet still, at every rally,
They can’t seem to keep from bringing up my name
And America just hangs her head in shame

Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie lie,
Lie, lie, lie....

[repeat Lies ad nauseum until they become the truth]
