Parody Song Title:

"Budgetary Hell"

Parody Written by:

William Tong

The Lyrics

Written in 1996 - satire about the favorite weapon of Newt Gingrich against government programs and agencies that he didn't like - cutting the federal budget
Well, since Newt Gingrich left us
In budgetary hell
The G.O.P. insists that the
Environment is well

And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry

What can we do about it?
He's trying to seal our doom
The EPA's his target
As he lowers the boom

And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would cry

(instrumental break)

The election's in November
So tell Newt and his PAC
We'll kick them out of Washington
And hope they never come back

And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try

And maybe
If I could only, maybe
If I could only
If I could only
I would try
