Agendas would be simple And leftward of the middle Passing in good time; Legislation we'd be passing With an expeditious fashion If only Harry had a spine! Oh, who can tell me why The GOP's in charge? 'Minority' means not so large So why is taking charge so hard? He could be not quite so easy An upright leader, you see, Instead of flat-supine; He would be friends with Jerry, And Obama would be merry If only Harry had a spine! We could bring a bill to cloture
And heed the will of voters
Ending gridlock-grind;
For sixty votes we'd muster,
There'd be no filibuster
If only Harry had a spine!

Agendas would be simple
And leftward of the middle
Passing in good time;
Legislation we'd be passing
With an expeditious fashion
If only Harry had a spine!

Oh, who can tell me why
The GOP's in charge?
'Minority' means not so large
So why is taking charge so hard?

He could be not quite so easy
An upright leader, you see,
Instead of flat-supine;
He would be friends with Jerry,
And Obama would be merry
If only Harry had a spine!
