Washington, D.C. Statehood

[John Oliver]
Hey, kids!

[Kids]
Hi!

[John Oliver]
How you doing?

[Kids]
Good!

[John Oliver]
Do you want to sing a song about the 50 states and the inequities inherent in living in our nation's capital?

[Kids]
Yeah!

[John Oliver]
Heck, let's do it, shall we? Okay

[Verse 1: All]
Alabama and Alaska
Arizona, Arkansas
California, Colorado
Connecticut, and more
There are 50 states in total
And we'll sing their names with glee
But there's one place that gets shafted
And it's Washington, D.C

[JOHN OLIVER]
That's great, kids. Now, be more specific about the problem

[Verse 2: All]
All the rest of us can choose a path
That we think is best
But any choice that D.C. makes
Is easily suppressed
'Cause some asshole with a rider
Who might live in Tennessee
Can destroy a needle program
For preventing HIV

[John Oliver]
It's true. It's horrifying, but it's true. What's a solution, do you think?

[Verse 3: All]
Let them have gun laws!
Let them have weed!
Let them decide the
Things that they need!

[John Oliver]
And if you're totally convinced that there should be just 50 states

[Kids]
Well, then let's all kick out Florida
'Cause no one thinks they're great

[All]
Oh, yes, let's all kick out Florida
'Cause no one thinks they're great!
