Capitol Steps - Keep Strom Alive lyrics

Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi. I am the Majority Leader of the United States Senate. Now as you may know, the Republican control of the Senate is hanging by the slimmest margin: the Senate is tied at 50/50, which means we Republicans are very concerned about the health of our most senior member, 98-year-old Republican senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina...Glad you could see Senator Thurmond on one of his good days. Well, you know what they say, though...if something was going to happen to Strom Thurmond, it probably would have happened already. Well, can't you see that the Senate and its fate Rest with a guy who's ninety-eight? We smile and nod at what he said To make you think he isn't dead But it's all right, he's okay He doesn't know the time of day Prop him up, over there Why does he have orange hair? As long as he is drooling, the GOP is ruling Gotta keep him alive, keep him alive He is sure a geezer, his first term was with Caeser Gotta keep him alive, keep him alive Hya, huh, ha, waah! Keep him alive... You can see ol' Strom is still alive Don't look a day over ninety-five Got five girls to hang out with I got a date with Anna Nicole Smith 'Cause I'm all right, doing great With my grapefruits as prostate Democrats, aimin' toward Tryin' to unplug his cord Check his respirator Or it's Senate, see ya later Gotta keep him alive, keep him alive He's older than you're thinkin' He babysat Abe Lincoln Gotta keep him alive, keep him alive Hya, hwa, woah, waah! Will he survive? I'm gon' outlive Dick Cheney!
