The Lyrics

Written in 1996, on memory of the infamous government shutdown of 1995-96, led by Newt Gingrich and the House Republicans. ("Furlough" is the word used for layoff int he public sector.) As sung by a federal worker during the shutdown:
I'm on another furlough
I made it through the day
I never will be ready
For furlough with no pay

O furlough, furlough, furlough
I made it through the day
I never will be ready
For furlough with no pay

We ought to blame somebody
For cutting budgets thin
I'm really getting tired
Of Gingrich and his kin

O furlough, furlough, furlough
I made it through the day
I never will be ready
For furlough with no pay

The G.O.P. is grateful
For battles they can win
We've on another furlough
Because they won't give in

O furlough, furlough, furlough
I made it through the day
I never will be ready
For furlough with no pay
