“Drink up and drop your ammo”

Posted in:

* We started our day with a VanillaMan tune, so let’s wind up the day with another one. Click here if you want to listen to Dean Martin’s version of “Let it Snow” while reading VanillaMan’s, um, “highly” appropriate lyrics…

Oh the news tonight is frightful,
But this mulled wine is so delightful,
And since our politics is a no-go,
Let it flow! let it flow! let it flow!

Yeah - State budget talks are flopping,
So it’s time for a little bar hopping,
Drink up and drop your ammo,
Let it flow! let it flow! let it flow!

During these extra-long Illinois fights,
We’ve got to keep our spirits high!
Drink enough and you’ll get tight,
Making compromise easier to try!

Yeah – the other guys are evil elves,
But these kegs won’t empty themselves,
Drink up until they become your amigo,
Let it flow! let it flow! let it flow!

When you finally end the night,
And perhaps an end to the partisan show
Remember that no one’s wrong or right,
After you finish off the last Bordeaux.

Functioning government is so delightful,
There’s no room to be so spiteful,
Look! Sheila brought along her banjo!
Don’t go! Don’t go! Don’t go!
Let it flow! let it flow! let it flow!
Find the dough! Pay what we owe! LET’S GO!

  3. Vanilla Man, I declare you the grand prize winner of ‘The Voice of IL.’

    Unfortunately, there is no money in the budget to pay you.

    And since our politics is a no-go,
    Let it flow! let it flow! let it flow!”

    Thank you once again, VanillaMan.

    I think it is time to open a good bottle of Merlot or maybe a Burgundy.
