The Lyrics
As we approach the 2004 election, let's look back at the election of 2000, which (I must concede) took more than 12 days.
On the first day of the election the voters gave to me
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the second day of the election the voters gave to me
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the third day of the election the voters gave to me
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the fourth day of the election the voters gave to me
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the fifth day of the election the voters gave to me
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the sixth day of the election the voters gave to me
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the seventh day of the election the voters gave to me
Seven new projections
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the eight day of the election the voters gave to me
Eight butterfly ballots
Seven new projections
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the ninth day day of the election the voters gave to me
Nine supreme court judges
Eight butterfly ballots
Seven new projections
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the tenth day of the election the voters gave to me

Eight butterfly ballots
Seven new projections
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays

Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
On the twelfth day of the election the voters gave to me
Twelve confused electors
Eleven brand new districts
Ten third parties
Nine supreme court judges
Eight butterfly ballots
Seven new projections
Six votes for Buchanon
Five hanging chads
Four more delays
Three recounts
Two transition teams and
A president whose state begins with "T".
