Happy Anthem! - In the Democratic Mountains!

Yesterday, I composed a parody of "Big Rock Candy Mountain" at the expense of our Republican brethren.

Here's an excerpt:

In the Grand Old Party Mountains the hearts are made of coal
And you can lie all that you want -- soon as you sell your soul
There ain't no damn trial lawyers, no taxes, laws or courts
So you're goin' to stay where you'll slave all day
Where we shoot the jerks who won't be serfs
In the Grand Old Party Mountains

Today, I decided to return the cheery folk anthem to the people.

I like this version MUCH more. :)

Democratic Mountain

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a True Blue hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin' for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Democratic Mountains

In the Democratic Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where there no such things as Bushes and the party lasts all night
Where the jail cells are all empty and good just laws are obeyed
And the birds and the trees and the happy peeps
Drink from clear fresh springs and breathe air that's free
In the Democratic Mountains

In the Democratic Mountains all the Pubs are downsized
And fair markets rule the day and jobs go to deserving guys
The farmers get a helping hand and aren't oversubsidized
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no mo'
Wingnuts on crack about to attack
In the Democratic Mountains

In the Democratic Mountains you never need for locks
Nor shotguns, pistols, or guard dogs nor wars in far Iraq
The Congress recalls who its serves and the President's no fool
There's a world of work and high hopes, too
Room for you and me to be me and you
In the Democratic Mountains

In the Democratic Mountains the people rule the land
And the laws that they promulgate are honored to a man
There ain't no second-guessing courts, no calls to break the law
So I mean to stay where I'm free all day
Where no wingnuts lurk `cause rule of law works
In the Democratic Mountains

I'll see you all now standing tall in the Democratic Mountains

Okay, then. Let's get to steppin'. :)

•  America Fair -- And We WILL be there!

  Let's get it goin' on. :)
