This song is waiting for a voice.

- Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
- If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
- Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be’?
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Congress is acting so dumb. (kazoo)
They’re culling the taxes for rich and the greedy
And taking the food from the poor and the needy,
They promised to give us more missiles and star wars.
Homes for our people are none. (kazoo)
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Congress gives away all our dough.
The’re giving the billions to Corporate welfare
Like Boeing, McDonald’s, Nabisco, and GE.
Yes, yes, we know what the matter is:
All the bums got to go!
Only the bums!
