  67. Brucie Had a Little State - Hale, enhanced by VanillaMan

    Brucie had a little state
    Little state, little state
    Brucie had a little state
    Its peace so bright it glowed
    And every dime that Brucie spent
    Brucie spent, Brucie spent
    And every dime that Brucie spent
    Went into his election show

    It voted him in on election day
    Election day, Election day
    It voted him in on election day
    Because Pat Quinn couldn’t rule
    Since then the voters rued that day
    Rued that day, rued that day
    Since then the voters rued that day
    When he made the state a cesspool

    And now they want to vote him out
    Vote him out, vote him out
    And now they want to vote him out
    But still he lingered near
    And waited impatiently
    Impatiently, impatiently
    And wai-aited impatiently
    His Turnaround to appear

    Brucie met a little fate
    Little fate, little fate
    Brucie met a little fate
    When he had nix to show
    So everywhere that Brucie went
    Brucie went, Brucie went
    So everywhere that Brucie went
    He stayed in Madigan’s shadow
