Ballad of Brett and Blasey

Many thanks to John Phillips and Michelle Philips of the the Mama’s and the Papas. who wrote this tune and recorded it 1991.I borrowed this tune for my song about the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, July 9, 2018. Lindsey and Mitchie were gettin’ kinda itchy just to leave the Judiciary behind. Chuck and his committee, working for a ditty, trying to get Brett’s nomination on time. On committee fence Jeff Flake sat, ‘cuz victims rantings knocked him flat, Lindsey and Mitchie still a’pushin’ forward in the Senate; you know where that’s at, and no one’s getting tweet ‘cept Blasey Ford. Lindsey said to Grassley, we need to go fastly, just to push this nomination on through. Let’s go fast! But Flake said to Grassley, we just can’t pass it until we surely know what to do.

On committee fence Jeff Flake sat, ‘cuz elevator tirades knocked him flat. Lindsey and Mitchey still a-pushin’ forward in the Senate; you know where that’s at and no one’s getting tweets ‘cept Blasey Ford. When Blasey was in high school accosted by a drunk fool . . . she said it was the nominee. Committee testifying: implied the nominee be lying, and stop his nomination immediately! ‘cuz he was drunk and crazy back in school days; he had accosted in a drunken haze. Lindsey and Mitchey, still a-pushin’ forward in the Senate; you know where that’s at, and no one’s getting tweets ‘cept Blasey Ford. Old school Senate rules, smart fools; America drools; the escalating hype is so strong. Tweet up Face up, everything is hype up, to make drama, and drama prolong. In a last minute surprise; Jeff proposed a compromise. Lindsey and Mitchey, still a-pushin’ forward in the Senate; you know where that’s at, and no one’s getting tweets ‘cept Blazey Ford. Ah, Broke, busted and Blasey can’t be trusted and Mitchie wants to go the floor. Diane can’t take it; she says she’ll have to shake it; We knew shed’d wanta shut that door. Slidin’ on procedures and rules: you know it’s low-ball, but politics is old school! Blasey’s ‘criminations and sad accusations can’t go on indefinitely, and Brett’s nomination is becoming a reality.
