Lyrics for "Time to Vote Again"

Music from "Do-re-mi" in movie "Sound of the Music"
Lyrics by Me

Description:

It was my assignment for a music class to rewrite the lyrics for a song. It just happened that I thought of this song because of the simplicity and popularity. Popularity here doesn't mean it is pop music or it is loved by everyone.

I brainstormed the lyrics in half an hour. Originally, I planned to re-write it to be a romantic song. However, on second thought, I was getting tired of writing love songs and would like to try something new. Since the presidential champaign next year is on the news every night, I just took this event and worked out the lyrics with a twist of humor to complete my assignment. There you have my presentation of "Time to Vote Again."


(Prelude)

(Chorus)

C -- D -- E - C - E - C - E
It's the time to vote a-gain

D - E -- F --- F -- E - D -- F
De-mo-crat does-n't look great

E - F - G -- E -- G - E - G
Re-pu-bli-can's e-ven worse

F ---- G - A - A - G -- F ---- A
There is not much to choose from

G - - C -- D - E -- F -- G - A
You can vote for who you like

A ----- D -- E - F -- G -- A --- B
Some-thing I don't care much for

B ---- E - F - G - A -- B ---- C
Now pre-si-den-tial cham-paign

C - B A - F - B - G -- C
It's a big ol' flick-ing joke


C - D -- E --- C - E - C -- E
I don't know who to sup-port

D --- E - F - F -- E --- D ---- F
when e-lec-tion time comes close

E - F -- G -- E - G E -- G
I have heard a sto-ry that

F ---- G -- A --- A - G --- F --- A
some-one called col-bert would run

G - C - D - E -- F -- G A
He got no love from S C

A - D - E - F --- G - A - B
Re-pu-bli-cans hate his gut

B -- E --- F - G - A - B - C
be-cause he's co-me-di-an

C --- B -----A - F B G --- C
who makes fun of e-very-one

(End)
