Going to Tampa |
Goodbye my honey, farewell my baby |
Don’t look for me around convention time |
I’m bound for Tampa, in the great state of Florida |
To see some distinguished friends of mine |
Mitt and Rick and the pitbulls, the jolly ride and step forth |
To the highest bidder each will guarantee |
I’d give all my money sir if Palin calls me honey |
And shakes the peaches off my tree |
'Cause I’m goin' to Tampa in the morning |
Got my credentials in my overalls |
But I can’t take you with me little darling |
I’m going down to get my asses hauled |
Well here’s a proposition to entertain a motion |
Bring back Willie Horton to us now |
We’ll spook the congregation and petrify the nation |
And blame the folks from Mexico somehow |
And let me introduce a man who all know well |
He can play a very important role |
State rights is his game, Jim Crow is his name |
And Jim’s our little ace in the hole |
'Cause I’m goin' to Tampa in the morning |
Saints of latter days will heed the call |
We’ll shout hallelujah in the evening |
I’m going down to get my asses hauled |
Well the NRA woman told the tea party man |
Gonna make love to you with a gun in my hand |
That tea party man said, that’s all right |
Got a smoking bomb under my pillow at night |
Well we’re all going to Tampa in the morning |
Honey will you miss me when I’m gone |
Now hope you pack my old bed sheet |
I’m going down to get my asses hauled |
Yes, I’m goin' to Tampa in the morning |
Honey will you miss me when I’m gone |
Now hope you pack my old bed sheet |
'Cause I’m going down to get my asses hauled |
