Sotomayor (based on Boz Skaggs’ “Lowdown”)
Lady’s proud to come from South Bronx
Made it to Princeton
Princeton to Yale and then became a prosecutor
Proud Puerto Rican heritage
Conservative attacks
Gingrich and Rush claiming reverse racism
Hey boys, look at those “facts” you throw around
Don’t be mad at the fact that she is brown
(Who’ll lose, I know, I know it will be both of you)
Please take off those two Klan hats
(Who’ll lose, I know, I know it will be both of you)
Like the McCain ticket
Gingrich’s lost his handle, Limbaugh’s not far off
Sotomayor’s got a gavel and that’s what makes them hot
Using Hartford’s court fight to fire the conservative base
Another ploy to stab at the President
The conservatives try to draw blood
Face the sad old truth, that’s dirty lowdown
(Who’ll lose, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
Take those ideas from your head
(Who’ll lose? Republicans you know, you know the truth)
How will the vote go down?
Sotomayor’s confirmation!
You ain’t go to be so mad you know how it goes
Hannity’s crying is sure enough getting old
Got a complaint for this and one for that
Crocodile tears are Glenn Beck’s ploy
Just ain't where it's at
They’ve gotta sit back down
That’s the sad, sad truth, its dirty lowdown
(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
Got you thinking like that, boys?
(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
Conservatives think like, think like they do
(Why dooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder why they should)
Ooooooh look out for that showdown
Sonia Sotomayor confirmation
(Whoooo, I believe, believe, believe, she’ll be good, ohh, ohh)
I’m just thinking like that
