Yankee Doodle – Burma Shave

Gaggle: Seattle
Government & Politics

Verse:
Yankee Doodle’s Patriot Act,
Got no votes from the braver,
The others went along with it
For fear of losing favor.

Chorus:
Yankee Doodle got your way
Yankee Doodle clever,
Lied and wreaked great havoc, but
We’ll end your reign forever.

Yankee Doodle terrified
The so-called liberal voices.
Congress folks need more backbone
And to make better choices.

Chorus
Yankee Doodle’s Patriot Act
Passed without being read first.
Now it’s time to repeal it
Make sure that it’s reversed.
