(This one goes out
to all the government workers
who are taking unpaid
time off
and to all the men and women
out there who wonder
"What's the deal
with this deal?")
Hold that dough
man I'm gonna cut a check
just for John and Jane Q
to see that I connect
Stay with me folks
look I got the thing right here
a check for 20K
or in case it's hard to hear
twenty-thousand dollars
better make it
last a year
I know this is symbolic
since the Feds spend this
like [snaps]
but just know ...
just know ...
we will ...
get through this
my fellow ...
Americans.
Thank you
peace out!
(Lord, I sure hope so.)
