One Cat, One Vote, One Beer Lyrics

Hey bartender, what you say?
I'm gonna get drunk on election day!
Want one glass of bourbon, one glass of rye
Come on, set me up, Joe, don't pass me by!
My money's alright, but my feet got sore
See, I been trying to vote, about an hour or more
I tried, but I didn't get nowhere
Joe, I just don't think they're doing this voting fair and square!

Chorus:
Better make it one cat, one vote, and one beer
Bartender, one cat, one vote, and one beer

See, I went downtown to the voting room
'Cause I wanted to get my voting done soon
The man said, "We're gonna have to do a little checking on you"
Come back a little later and said, "Well, Buddy, you know, your vote just can't go through
Says you been dead, ten years back. We're sure not gonna take a vote off a dead red cat"
"What you say?"
"Step aside now, you're interfering with the election process, that's a crime"
"The crime is you!"
"Well, Buddy, voting is just something I don't think you're going to do"

Chorus

Now, I'm gonna drink a little gin and some mellow wine
Then I'm gonna try that voting machine out just one more time
'Cause democracy is in our hands, but it's slipping through our fingers just like sand
Now, I'm worried for you, sure worried for me, watching the election coming 'round on the T.V.
Voting is closed, we already lost the race
Might as well meet me down to Little Joe's Place

Chorus
