Governing Illinois is sure a downer!

Two in the Slammer, and two got away!

One fine day, will come our way,
Just not now, don’t have a cow,
Rauner’s in charge, our debts enlarge,
We’re in a hole, that’s his goal
Must be Rauner, must be Rauner,
Must be Governor BRUCE!

  2. Strangely, the tune came out as a military cadence in my head…troops marching to war with that old “Sound off…1,2, Sound off…3,4, Sound off….”

  5. Once again your musical IQ is amazing. I have never heard of this “Christmas song”. To the post, good job VM.
