California Schemin’

(To the tune of “California Dreamin’” by the Mamas & the Papas)

All the polls are closed
And we still have Gray
The court shut ‘em down
We can’t have our say
“You’re too dumb to vote”
“Cause you live in L.A.”
California Schemin’
On such an autumn’s day

No votes to cast for Arnold
Or Bustamante
Or even Gary Coleman
No chads to punch away
“The cards were OK last year”
“But no good today”
California Schemin’
On such an autumn’s day

All the polls are closed
The 9th ordered delay
“Punch cards are confusing
Like Florida Y2K”
Maybe they were fearful
They’d hear the newsmen say
“Pat Buchanan’s the Governor
of Californ-i-a!”
Californ-i-a
On such an autumn’s daaaaaaaaaayyyyyy
