Vote ‘Em Out.

If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
That’s what Election Day is all about.
The biggest gun we’ve got,
Is called “the ballot box”,
So if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
And when they’re gone, we’ll sing and dance and shout.
Bring some new ones in,
And we’ll start that show again,
And if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
If it’s a bunch of clowns you voted in,
Election Day is comin’ ’round again.
If you don’t like it now,
If it’s more than you’ll allow,
If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
And when they’re gone, we’ll sing and dance and shout.
Bring some new ones in,
And we’ll start the show again,
And if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
Vote ’em out (vote ’em out),
That’s what Election Day is all about.
The biggest gun we’ve got,
Is called “the ballot box”,
So if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out.
If you don’t like who’s in there, well vote ’em out.
