The Devil Went Down To Florida

To the tune of The Devil Went Down to Georgia

(an audio version of this song is available on the JB&B Members Page. Club registration required)

Well the Democrats down in Florida

They went lookin for some votes to steal
They was in a bind cause they was way behind
So they hatched a sneaky deal

When they seen this boy from texas
Representin' the GOP
Al Gore jumped up on this Votamatc
Said "Boy take a listen to me"

"You might know by lookin'
But i'm a mean ol' junkyard dog
Me and all my lawyers got the whole state in a fog
Now you got lots of 'lectoral votes --
But give the devil his due
And if we mount a big recount
I'll get more votes than you"

The boy said "My name's Dubya -- and it might be a sin
But i'll take your bet and you're gonna regret
If you try to sneak on in"

Dubya better get your legal team
a-workin hard
Cause hell's broke loose inFlorida and
Palm Beach holds the cards
And if you win you get to run the US government
But if you lose you won't be president...

The Democrats brung lawyers in
So things would more real slow
and MSNB-CNN sat back to watch the show
And Democrats went on tv and made an evil hiss
And a band of lawyers joined in
And sounded somethin' like this

When Al Gore finished Dubya said
"You're a sneaky sonofagun
But sit your sneaky butt right down
Lemme show ya how it's done'

"Keep ol' gore outta washington
Palm Beach voters sure are dumb
Messin' with the recount -- punchin' out chads
Mess with me i'll kick your 'nads"

Gore was still a bit behind
In every last report
And his legal team appealed the thing
To the Florida high court
Dubya said "I hate recounts" Gore said "I insist"
And the rest of America shook their heads
And got completely pissed

Florida recount's in dispute
Whole dang thang ain't worth a poot
Settle this thang and move on please
Both you guys are SOBs
