Congress gives fa-la-la-la-la for Christmas

Members of congress have left Washington

to deck their halls and drown their sorrow

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Unemployed and hungry they'll think of tomorrow

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

TSA will get them home

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

but National Guardsmen are on their own

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing lies they told us

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

of what we didn't need or deserve chorus.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Clueless to what we really wanted

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

While I tell of treasure wasted.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old seat passes.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Hail the new election year, lads and lasses

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Sing we joyous, all together.

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

Heedless of the wind and weather.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

For they are warm but veterans sleep on the streets and gather

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

remembering days when they had food and shelter

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

and all responsibilities politicians eluded

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

The Caddywhompus cacophony of congressional caterwauling has concluded.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

At least we know for the next few weeks, there is nothing they can mess up more.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

I guess we can celebrate that till next year comes and they open that door.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
