New Jersey Republican Election Day Blues

I got no money to put up T.V. ads
Our poll numbers are looking mighty bad
I thought it would be helpful speaking the truth
It’s about as useful as having one tooth
My opponent the voters are about to choose
That’s why I got the New Jersey Republican Election
day blues

Back in April my chairwoman said to me
Raising money will be easy
Late this summer she walked out the headquarter’s
door
I ain’t seen her no more
My campaign account is empty it is true
That’s why I got the New Jersey Republican Election
Day blues

Chris Christie is running for President
Been out of the State so long is he even a resident?
I’m feeling all alone
Only the Democrat pollsters call me on the telephone
My political career is through
That’s why I got the New Jersey Republican Election
Day blues

I say lower taxes will create jobs
My opponent just calls me a rich snob
And he’s the millionaire
Uses a stylist to cut his hair
To this trust fund baby I’m going to lose?
I sure got the New Jersey Republican Election Day
blues

Now the NJEA is running ads against me
Cause I voted to save the pension fund from
bankruptcy
This is hypocrisy
Peoples, can’t you see
The Democrats all voted for it too
That’s why I got the New Jersey Republican Election
Day blues

I got no money to put up T.V. ads
Our poll numbers are looking mighty sad
I thought it would help speaking the truth
It’s about as useful as having one tooth
My opponent the voters are gonna choose
That’s why I got the New Jersey Republican Election
Day blues.

  1. Do what I did.. Move out while you still can, just the Taxes, Tolls, and parking for work, $10,000 a year, saved.. Five minutes after I got my license here, I was able to buy a new rifle.. Actually could have bought anything I wanted [short of full auto].. Guess how many permits I had to pull to build my house… 1, for the Septic.
