Republicans

[WILLIAM FINN]
I had never met
A Republican
'Til I went to college
The mother of a classmate said she hated Bella Abzug
And I said, “Are you a Republican?”
And she just laughed
And I said, “Bitch.”

At a cocktail party given by this Republican
She said, “FDR, would you like some pâté?”–
She called me FDR!–
I said, “I don’t eat pâté served by a Republican!”
She said, “That’s undemocratic.”
And then she looked ecstatic
She said, “FDR, could you be gay?”
And I said, “You’ll have to ask Eleanor.”

So I went to bed
With a Republican
And he didn’t perspire!
He said–as we’re undressing–
He admires Richard Nixon
And I said, “Are you a Republican?”
And he just laughed
And I said, “Bitch.”

So we’re in bed, and I’m in him, a Republican
And I’m trying hard to make the fellow burst
To be in him and be screwing a Republican
Is damn unappealing
But I can’t help but feeling
That it’s nice to have the roles reversed

(spoken)
You’re talking about the son? No, no! You’re killing me! You’re kill– You're giving me a headache!

(sung)
These are people who are running the whole world
These are people who are ruining the world!

I'm in a world surrounded by Republicans
And I’m thinking maybe this proves God is dead
While the good guys die, it’s long live the Republicans
Though it’s not democratic
This much I know emphatically
I’d rather God kill them instead!
Yes, it’s true!
I’d rather God kill them instead!

[FINN & AUDIENCE]
La la la la la la la la Republicans!
La la la la la la la la la la la!
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la Republicans!

[FINN]
Though it’s not democratic
This much I know emphatically
I’d rather God kill them instead
Yes
I’d rather God kill them instead!
