The Lyrics
As the fiscal crisis deepens with each passing day, the DEMs and Obama need to get their act together and avoid defaulting.
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
As the date nears
Americans are seething
Across the land, all up in arms
The divide is so clear
Over the ceiling
Just raise the limit, we’re facing harm
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
Arguing trillions, what’s new?
This debt is crappy
No one knows just who to blame
Fiscal emergency
Expenses to cover
But don’t put us to default shame
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
Boehner and Obama appear
Almost daily on TV
With REPs & DEMs fighting in-between
What happened to our country
Can’t work together?
Both should be working as a team
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
America, my America
The place where I was born
REPs on one side-
DEMs on another,
it’s a damn shame
We are so torn
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
Deadlines come-n- go, they expire
can‘t afford defaulting and placing blame,
just to know fear
as long as funding tarries
Please don’t waste what little time remains
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
As the date nears
Americans are seething
Across the land, all up in arms
The divide is so clear
Over the ceiling
Just raise the limit, we’re facing harm
Don’t miss the deadline
Aug 2nd deadline
That would be crappy
To make us pay
We all live in fear
Oh, how we despise you
DEMs don’t miss the deadline date
Arguing trillions, what’s new?

But don’t put us to default shame
Don’t miss the deadline

Even though the TOC is foggy to me, not because of what you wrote or how you wrote it Rob, but just because I have trouble understanding such things, But the parody still looks like it follows pretty close to the OS, which the OS I do know, so a 555 is still in order... :-)
In fact, both sides need to get their acts together.
