    YES, BUT DOES THE NEW LEGISLATION HAVE ANY TEETH?

                                                  DEAD MAN'S TEETH


    "She was forced to wear her dead sister's teeth. (Representative Louise Slaughter)

    Here's Rush Limbaugh:

    "There are people out there that think this is huge because it's so stupid. I mean, for example, well, what's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling? Save the planet? And so what? So if you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for? Isn't that why they make applesauce?"

    Here's Glenn Beck:

    "I am wearing George Washington's dentures right now. I'm wearing his teeth right now"

     

    DEAD MAN'S TEETH

     

    I was feeding on some bacon late one night

    When I broke some teeth as I took a big bite

    Then real pain went to my brain from my aching jaw

    Without any teeth; food will get stuck in my craw

    I thought, now I'm lost, no more chompin time

    I only get to swallow mashed fruit from the vine

    There must be some way I can still eat beef

    I guess all I really need

    Are some Dead Man's Teeth


    Chorus:

    Dead Man's Teeth, just nothing to pay
    Dead Man's Teeth, I can afford them today
    Dead Man's Teeth, I can hear 'em say:
    "Well lets go get some Dead Man's Teeth"

     

    The graveyard was deserted that Friday night

    I start digging with nothing but a little moon light

    I just popped in the set when dinner was seen

    Now I'm chompin' on a steak like a mean grindin' machine

    I blow past salad greens and good corn with my bites

    Well I felt a lot younger with good food in my sights

    But I'm now fat as a hog with a great big back seat

    I wish I could give them back

    All my Dead Man's Teeth

     
    Partial chorus:

    Dead Man's Teeth, there now on display
    Dead Man's Teeth

    Dramatic interlude:

     

    Well the last thing I remember Doc, I started to seethe

    I saw my big fat arse slide right off the seat

    I know I'll never forget that horrible sight

    Four hundred pounds on a scooter just can't be right

     I'll give back those Dead Man's Teeth

    Dead Man's Teeth, whoa whoa whoa

    Dead Man's Teeth, whoa whoa whoa

    Dead Man's Teeth

    I'm given' back them Dead Man's Teeth

    (repeat when necessary)
