The Lyrics
They've just had an election, boys, down in the USA,
(in case you hadn't noticed what was on the news today).
Someone should have won by now, and somebody still may
But they're still counting in Florida
Chorus -
Hooray hooray, for Bush has won the day
No way! No way! It's going Al Gore's way
They've found another ballot box, one that got away
While they were counting in Florida.
How the networks shouted when they had their exit poll
Al Gore's gone and lost it, and George Bush is on a roll
OK, so they got it wrong and scored a huge own goal
They're still counting in Florida
Chorus.
Al Gore, he conceded for he thought that he had lost
A profligate election (with a billion-dollar cost)
Then retracted his concession for to make one last riposte
They're still counting in Florida
Chorus.
Yanks call this democracy? It's time that they awoke
All their machinations make electioning a joke
So skin a great big reefer up, and give 'em all a toke
They're still counting in Florida
Chorus.
