“Angels we have heard on high”

Posted in:

* The latest from VanillaMan. Click here if you’re unfamiliar with the tune…

Angels we have heard on high
Pleading, begging o’re our plains
But Raunerites in reply
Berates them over budget strains
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
Democrats only live to STEAL
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
Without Turnaround there’s NO DEAL
Legislators feeling glum
With no pay, there is no plum
The Speaker whom ’er he be
Would never give in to Brucie
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
We’d rather listen to Brucie’s SQUEAL
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
“Right To Work” is Right To STEAL
Come to Chicago and see
Lootings, shootings across the town
Duck and dive on bended knee
Mayor Emanuel, who wears the crown
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
I’d rather have no sex APPEAL
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO Deal
Chicago’s Rauner’s Achilles’ heel
What can poor Illinois do now?
Whose government ignores angels pleas?
Illinois citizens come, let’s vow
We won’t succumb to government squeeze!
NO-Ooooooh-Oooooh-NO GOOD!
We’re tired of all your FALSEHOOD!
GO-Oooooh-Oooooh-LET’S GO!
Time for ANGELS to RUN THIS SHOW!

  2. Illinois’ most vulnerable citizens can’t avoid it– they are the ones who have no choice but to succumb to the toxic political squeeze our state has become. They may not survive it.

    Merry Christmas.

  6. I always enjoy VanillaMans creativity as much as I do seeing pictures of Oscar.

  7. Another great song! Let’s hope the better angels of our nature intervene for the sake of a budget.

  9. Thank you VanillaMan! I was going to do a clever reply, but couldn’t think of a good rhyme for your name besides “Madigan,” and that just felt wrong.

    I’d love to see what he can do with “The Little Drummer Boy”.

  12. Heavenly lyrics.
    In Illinois, the original title song would be “Angles we Have Worked From High”
