Oh, there's nothing today
Quite like the Iowa Straw Vote polling.
All are trolling in the first of voting states.
Hopefuls all bang away.
They're courting each of the Hawkeye residents
For president's the goal of candidates.

Although the U.S. election won't happen 'til next November
They are here to keep their White House bids alive.
And 'though both Rick and Romney
Chose to skip these proceedings,
All the rest of the pack is here for the shuck and jive.
What is the point? Don't ask me!
Why is it important?
Romney won this show last time,
So how'd it work for him?
Yet still they're going to Iowa to strive.

(Solo) I'd say that this is too early.

(All) Why can't this show wait for snow in the wintertime of December
When their caucus would be just two months away?
For it's a fact that this state's
Never been a bellweather.
It more often goes blue and seldom comes into play.

(Slowly, reverently) "Cause it's all for the press,
Pundits, experts, reporters.
They must fill up each slow news day!

(A tempo) But then perhaps the hoopla
Serves a useful purpose.
Newt, T-Paw, John Huntsman, and Santorum may drop out.

And so who really won Iowa?
Straw Poll Iowa?
Michele? Ron Paul? Santorum? Pawlenty?
Huntsman? Gingrich? Cain? Nobody?
Did the vote clear things up? No way!!
