The Lyrics
Hats off to Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), who, instead of pandering to evangelical scam artists, is starting to go after the so-called Gospel of Prosperity cons.
Charlie's got some doubts:
He wants to know why
All these scammin' louts
Are livin' so high.
Grassley's cause is causin' 'em frowns.
He's makin' a list
Of all of their vice.
He wants to find out
Why they're wearin' ice.
Scammin' frauds are startin' to frown.
These schemers are dupe-thievin'.
From rubes; money they'll take.
They got the con down really good,
But then Charlie came awake. So. . .
Charlie's got some doubts
He wants to know why
Ethics they all flout
So they can live high.
Scammin' frauds are connin' their clowns.
These thieves each day are stealin'
The dough their suckers make.
These hoods are livin' really good,
Each a "prosperity" fake. Though. . .
Might have to watch out--
Charlie's dudgeon's high.
He might put these louts
In a hearings eye.
Scammin' frauds are comin' to town?
He wants to know why
All these scammin' louts
Are livin' so high.
Grassley's cause is causin' 'em frowns.
He's makin' a list
Of all of their vice.
He wants to find out
Why they're wearin' ice.
Scammin' frauds are startin' to frown.
These schemers are dupe-thievin'.
From rubes; money they'll take.
They got the con down really good,
But then Charlie came awake. So. . .
Charlie's got some doubts
He wants to know why
Ethics they all flout
So they can live high.
Scammin' frauds are connin' their clowns.
These thieves each day are stealin'
The dough their suckers make.
These hoods are livin' really good,
Each a "prosperity" fake. Though. . .
Might have to watch out--
Charlie's dudgeon's high.
He might put these louts
In a hearings eye.
Scammin' frauds are comin' to town?

Amen. If only he had voted with the majority to acquit The Last President (so far).
I'm glad to see this as well. good job :)
Thanks, Alvin, CupCakes, Michael, MrM.
Very good spoof with excellent rhyming. Innocent until proven guilty, but I don't understand how those televangelists get the contributions they do.
