Every four years at this time Things get a little hairy But the Tuesday after Halloween's The day that's really scary Pumpkin orange, witch hat black Are Autumn's spooky hues But this year since New Hampshire We've had reds and whites and blues And in just a few weeks time We'll all be giving thanks Let's pray we picked the right guy And next year they'll be some banks Some jobs, some schools, some peace, a cure Reasons for thanksgiving Some air, some water, and some food Seasons to keep living Speaking of the right guy Let's get down to business How many days will there be Any shopping left this Christmas Let's elect a leader Presidential in behavior We don't want a Santa Claus Though God knows we'd take a savior So vote your conscience, guts and heart Although it's just a mystery And partake in this sacramental Tuesday we make history Draw the curtain, pull the lever Pick a winner in the booth But a winner's not a savior And that's the awful truth
