Never mind what's your condition
Or your self-deported mission
There's a Cabinet position
That's awaitn' for you surel
II the enemy you collared-
If YOU led the boys or foered
And got hOarse because you h0ered.
Pass your plate and call for more!
II the banner you have toted
Till the full returns were quoted
IL your great grandfather voted
When the good news was a-telng
And the chorus was a swelling,
II you did q lot OF yelling,
Pass your plate and call for m0rei
oh. our trouDles-they are over.
And we're Just knee-deep in clover
And we're holding on 70 Grover
While he's entering the door
And the rascals with their cheatin'-
They going out a-skeetin',
Red-hot, and SIN heatn'-
Pass your plate and call for more!
