There once was a Grand Old Party Formed against slavery The Free Soil party Defenders of the constitution And the omnibus declaration First to be President: Abraham Lincoln The 20s were the Republican decade Harding, Coolidge and Hoover A decade sadly a century past A temporal chasm loomed Until conservative hero Former democrat Reagan Trickled up the elephant’s trunk Take eye of Newt And two from Bush Alchemy trickery: viola kazam! The great bamboozle began It’s no longer conservatism No longer less federalism A horrible takeover This GOP makeover Fend for self Wall off power Distort report All else enemy Walk lock-step Repeat refrain Us not them Say it again My senator father Is spinning in his grave Fox in the henhouse This Mitch debprave

RIP GOP
