New Picture For Dollar Bill

New Picture for Dollar Bill By Elton Camp There’s a movement underway To make currency fit more today Only a very long time ago Did a woman’s picture show Martha Washington was the one Though but little by her was done There’s one I’d prefer to see Dolly Parton it should be I’m sure that most would agree She’s better than George to see My choice, please follow through She’s beautiful and competent, too To remove him, we really should A fuddy-duddy with teeth of wood A nation’s image is everything A better one, Dolly would bring “You’re disrespectful,” some may say But Washington is just so “yesterday” His deeds were a long time ago Who can know if they’re even so? Some of them, it surely seems Came from lying Parson Weems An unstoppable move has begun Let’s put Dolly Parton on the one!
