Congress For Sale
To be sung with Libby Holman to Cole Porter's
"Love for Sale"
(…Appetizing young love for sale)

Greed for sale.
Enterprising old boys for sale.
The greed of Congress takes its toll
As each incumbent sells his soul.
Greed for sale.

Want to buy?
Lobbyists will help you find the guy
Who will charge the lowest price
To promote your merchandise.
Greed for sale.

Let them tout democracy
And let you think that they
Represent the folks who vote
Instead of those who pay.
If you want democracy,
Vote against hypocrisy,
Old lies, new lies,
And their guilty enterprise.

Greed for sale.
All incumbent old boys for sale.
Tired of bridges to nowhere?
Show the bastards that you care.
Stop the sale!!!
