Political Parties Lyrics by Smart Songs

2009

CHORUS (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
Like the Democrats and Republicans
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
There are many parties
You pick one
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
VERSE 1 (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
In our country, we are called Americans
And we can agree with each other on many things
But not always everything; there's lot's of issues
Parties often challenge each other with different views
Join with a party where your values are respected
Power in numbers to get your candidates elected
One of the two largest groups: The Democratic Party
Traditional symbol is the patriotic donkey
Generally, viewed to be those who think liberally
Figuratively, said to be on the left politically
Party believes government should be large in size
And nationally protect the well-being of our lives
Why, how about The Republican Party?
The Grand Old Party: it's the GOP
Many from this party want the country more conservative
Believing government should remain small and be reserved a bit
And do things only that citizens on their own cannot
The elephant is the party symbol and mascot
Do you know who you support yet?
Hardly
Well, maybe consider voting for a third party
Usually the underdog, and it's evident
No third party candidate has ever been president
Some voters won't let that change what they decide (Hmm)
Start up the campaign ; you're in for a ride
CHORUS (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
Like the Democrats and Republicans
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
There are many parties
You pick one
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
VERSE 2 (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Well the very first party in this country to exist
Was the party that was known as the Federalists
It was started by the man Alexander Hamilton
Wanted strong central government--that was his plan
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison did begin
A group called Democratic-Republicans
They cut spending and made state power strong
Appealed to farmers who labored all year long
But in the 1800's, those parties fell apart
And the Democrats that we know today had their start
At their heart was Andrew Jackson who wanted social action
The vote of farmers and workers is what he was attractin'
The faction that opposed them were Democratic foes an'
Were known as the Whigs (Who?) A British name chosen
No, not those that you wear on your head
But those that said the president is limited
But then the Whigs began bickering before the Civil War
Some formed the Republicans in 1854
And the one to represent them was Abraham Lincoln
The first president to be a Republican
And though they've been changing--still change along the way
Republicans and Democrats are what we have today
They each hold primaries (party elections)
And nominate the winners at party conventions
CHORUS (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
Like the Democrats and Republicans
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
Now listen up
People party; they say parties are fun
What kind of party?
There are many parties
You pick one
Now listen here
People party; they say party means dance
What kind of dance?
You gotta get in your political stance!
BRIDGE (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Some people are Democrats, others are Republicans
Some people have other parties--are you a part of one?
Some people are Democrats, others are Republicans
Some people have other parties--are you a part of one?
VERSE 3 (Shoeless Jeff & Scott Free):
Joining a party is lots of fun
You might be a Democrat or Republican
Joining a party means get up and dance
And it also means choosing your political stance!
