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
