Am

1. So now you thin that the discussion’s done

We’ve heard these bullet points ad infinitum

Dm7

It’s time to vote and find out which side won

Am

A Foghorn Leghorn voice says, hold it son!

Dm7

Cause I can talk longer than you can listen

E E7

There’s a hundred voters, a hundred votes, and one

Am Dm Em Ebm Dm

Filibuster, filibuster

Am

Don’t you wish I’d stop!

Am

Conspiring leftist scientists have said

Melting ice should fill our hearts with dread

Dm7

It’s just like when they took away our lead

Am

Dm7

Your car’s your freedom, freedom must be fed

E E7

So as the water’s rising over our head

We’ll filibuster.

Don’t you wish I’d stop.

Aren’t you glad I stopped.
