Tom Paxton – In Florida (Ukulele)

 C                           F 
Folks in Florida cast their votes

   C          G      C
As all good citizens do

                                F
In West Palm Beach, the ballots read

     C                   G
'To vote for One, punch Two

    F                        C
And once you've punched it, punch it again,

                         G
And give it another good push

    C                               F
You thought you voted for Gore, surprise!!

    C            G         C
You cast your ballot for Bush.'

    F                  C
In Florida the sun is shining

                G
It's early bird dining

             C
And early to bed

      F                          C
The Republicans said: “Stop the counting”

                 G
Gore's total is mounting

                      C
Let's quit while we're ahead

   C                       F
Katherine Harris hit the switch

    C          G           C
Saying, 'This vote's certified

                           F
Off the Democrats went to court

       C                   G
Like hell the Republicans cried

   F               C
A hundred million votes were cast

                     G
Including yours and mine

    C                    F
But in the end the only ones

     C         G      C
That counted numbered nine

  C                               F
The boys and girls in black robes met

   C       G      C
And held a tug of war

                                  F
And when they cast their votes at last

        C        G
Bush won it, 5 to 4

    F                      C
Five judges selected the president

                      G
Five judges had their way

   C                       F
And I expect they'll all retire

   C    G       C
To Florida some day
