==Lyrics==
Cheerleaders: E-L-E-C-TOR-AL
Electoral College! We've got a tale to tell!
Bob Dorough: So what if we don't have a football team? 
At least we never have to write a theme
No classes, no professors, no tuition
Yet we're the goal of every politician
(Cheerleaders join in) 'Cuz everyone who graduates becomes the president 
Boothy: Ta-dah!
I'm gonna send your vote to college
When you vote for president
And if you'll let me share some knowledge
You'll understand this big event!
The folks who wrote our Constitution 
Had the idea for this plan
And it's been used in our elections 
Since our government began
When you pull down on my levers
For the person of your choice
You're also choosing state electors
Who will have the final voice 
They're called the electoral college
And they'll meet to stipulate 
Who the voters have selected 
To be the winner in each state
Now, the number of electors 
That your state is going to get 
Is based on total population 
That's a formula that's set
And when the popular vote is counted 
To find a winner in each state
Each state will 
pledge all of its electors
To choose the winning candidate!
Winning Candidate: I like it! I like it!
Cheerleaders: E-L-E-C-TOR-AL!
Electoral College! And we deserve a yell!
Boothy: And even if the vote is close
And someone wins by just a little tiny hair
Electors give that person all their votes
And it's considered fair and square!
I'm gonna send your vote to college 
When you vote for president
And now the electoral college 
Will work the way our founders meant
So what if they don't have a big macho football team? 
Cheerleaders and Dorough: It's every politician's special dream! 
Boothy: 'Cuz everyone who graduates,
Cheerleaders and Dorough: Yes, everyone who graduates 
Boothy: Everyone who graduates
All: Becomes the president!
