( Election song lyrics: funny political satire parody )
( To the ) TOP GOES THE DIESEL
( Gore-Bush Election 2000 - business politics as usual )

( To the tune of ... billions of dollars ? )

CHORUS:
Beating 'round the W. Bush,
the Donkey raced the Sleaze Hole.
The Elephant bought the critical one:
to the top goes the Diesel.

1: All the chads and all of the votes
that never got recounted,
locked away as evidence,
forever impounded.

2: When your brother owns- a state
delivered on a platter,
maybe ethics aren't first rate,
but what does it matter?
CHORUS:

3: All the costs are now going up,
especially gas and power.
Oil companies raise their cups
to the Man of the Hour!

4: Now you're in, you give to your friends,
to all your business buddies.
If asked about the ozone again,
it needs another study.
CHORUS:
