GET OUT THE VOTE!

IT’S TIME TO GET OUT THE VOTE! (Candidates’ names subject to change)
(Sunny side of the street)

Get your hat and get your coat
Don’t forget your sample ballot
Let’s not miss the boat
Cause it’s time to get out the vote!
Bring your friends and all their pals
Bring your maid and bring your valet
Put down that remote
Cause it’s time to get out the vote.
You haven’t registered, it’s true
Since 1962
But now, it’s up to you
So use it, or lose it!
For Obama or McCain?
Discussion or a mallet?
There’s one antidote
So it’s time to get out the vote!

Call a list or walk a block
Talk to everyone who’ll listen
Buy ‘em a rootbeer float–
Any way to get out the vote!

Our democracy’s at stake
All the rights that we’ve been missin’
JFK said, and I quote,
“Folks, it’s time to get out the vote!”
If we don’t work out a plan
If we don’t do all we can
We’ll get war in Iran
Let’s hustle our bustle!

On election day we’ll gloat
There’ll be joy and hugs and kissin’
From Nome to Terra Haute
So we better get out the vote!
