This song was recently posted in CRD format.  Unfortunately, for several 
reasons, CRD does not meet my needs and I wanted the song in SIMP (text) 
format (with a few changes).  I assume there are at least a few people out 
there who also would enjoy the song in SIMP format, so here goes:
(CRD fans:  I appreciate your enthusiasm for CRD, but it does not meet
my needs.  I would hope that there are enough people using this group to
justify and support more than one format.)

CRD From: Dierk Lucyga;  SIMPed by Sennet
.
Are you interested in text versions of other songs that have been posted in 
CRD?  I sure am.  I would like to find some other people who are interested
in occasionally converting a CRD file into text (preferably SIMP)  If you 
want to help, we could modify a lot of songs by each SIMPing a few.  
.
Also, I have a fair number of files in SIMP that I have not posted, but would 
be happy to Email to anyone who will reciprocate at all.  If you send me a 
note I'll reply with a list a what I have, a list of many songs I would like to 
get, and a description of SIMP.
.
SIMP?
Stupidity Induced Music Page format,  briefly:
- Chords printed with every line, every verse, with all lyrics
- conveniently printably on one or two pages
- It would be nice if SIMP files are correct before posting
.  (1 correct song being better than 5 good attempts)

Humor break:
A-  "The Education President"
B-  "No New Taxes"
C-  "The Environmental" (that's a good one) "President"
.              Hmmm, batting three for three.  
Read my lips:  Somebody will SAY ANYTHING to get elected.
