I wrote these song edits for Governor Huckabee. It is now a trilogy and I am proud of it. I’ve been writing song edits for several years now to stories I’ve read or current events. I now present the Huckabee Trilogy:
HUCKABEE

We want someone, we both know it,
We all talk too much about it.
Ain’t no real big secret all the same,
somehow, they don’t understand it.
Listen, it don’t really matter to me, baby,
We believe that he just can achieve,
You say he just might win that Huckabee.
(He just might win that Huckabee)
Somewhere, somehow,
Opponents must have kicked him around some.
Tell me why he didn’t go there and make an attack ad.
It don’t make no difference to me, baby,
Everybody’s had to fight for the key,
You see he just could be our nominee.
(He just could be our nominee)
Baby, you know he just could be our nominee.
(He just could be our nominee)
Baby, we ain’t the first.
I’m sure that in him Reagan’s returned.
Right now this seems better than true,
But he’s one of those guys the others have to pursue
Somewhere, somehow,
Opponents must have kicked him around some.
Who knows? Maybe the others attacked,
Played up, lied in dismay, and then some.
Honey, it don’t really matter to me, baby,
Everybody’s had to fight for the key,
You see he just, might win that Huckabee.
He just could be our nominee.
You see he just, might win that Huckabee.
He just could be our nominee.
You see he just, might win that Huckabee.
He just could be our nominee.

He was caught
In the middle of a election attack (VOTER)
And he knew there was no turning back (VOTER)
His mind raced
And he thought “What could I do?” (VOTER)

Polls could never see that he would win
Yesterday dont matter Since he’s won
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
What’s in the polls
Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you
Dont question why the leads don’t tend to be
They’ll tell us its the only way to be
That polls just can’t be changed
To elect a man for gain
Where nothing’s lost
At Romney’s cost
Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you
And theres no time to lose, the pundits say
Cast your vote before they get their way
Lying all the time
Lost their dreams
So you must state your mind.
Not far behind?
Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you
Thank you, Super Tuesday
You were there to help Huck win
When Polls change with every new day
Oh I’m glad to have you
