The Samoan Bash

I was working in the Capitol late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight Nancy Pelosi began to rise And suddenly to my surprise She did the bash She did the Samoan bash She did the bash It was a liberal smash She did the Bash It gave me a rash She did the bash She did the Samoan Bash She denied American Samoa minimum wage Somebody left her out of her cage She could care less, no conscience found So Star Kist stock didn’t go down She did the bash She did the Samoan Bash She did the Bash It was a liberal smash She did the bash It was her husband’s flash She did the bash She did the Samoan bash. Now all is peaceful in socialist land As we watch our retirement sink in the sand You have to give the devil her due When she’s done shafting them She’ll shaft me and you too. She did the bash She did the Samoan bash She did the bash Now they have no cash She did the bash She believes we’re all trash She did the bash She did the Samoan bash. This verse was inspired by "The Monster Mash" which wasn't near as scary as Congress and the former Speaker of the House

Per your blog comment, Vince. I'm right behind you in the revolt. This silliness in Washington has gone on long enough -- all at taxpayers' expense. It gets me steamed! Thanks for allowing me to vent and congratulations on your win in Deborah's contest, Carolyn

Oh dear, Vince, we both took shots at Pelosi in our "summertime songs." It's not the first time I've blasted her, but I sure did enjoy the way you have her doing the Samoan bash and giving us the shaft. That's how I felt when she wanted to push the health care reform package through Congress without a vote. Well, she finally mustered the votes and passed it, but I think the Supreme Court will rightfully determine it is unconstitutional. This poem goes to my favorites! Love, Carolyn
