SING IT to the tune of I've Been Workin' on the Railroad
Will they pull the plug on Grandma?
Will they pull the plug one day?
That is just what I’ve been hearing,
If Obama has his way!
If that is what you believe, dear
I’ve something here for sale:
(Speak) The Brooklyn Bridge
The Eiffel Tower
And Buckingham Palace, too!
So, my friend, I need to ask you
To listen to the TRUTH:
Grandma’s really safe
As safe as she can be.
The choice is up to her, you see!
(Speak)
WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE!
