When Bethany's Sexay Love Man Votes

The hour will come

the time is near

when Bethany's sexay love man votes


The curtains'll part

he will appear

yes, Bethany's sexay love man votes


At that moment

what will he hear

(a coughing judge

a crying peer)

how will America tongue his ear

when Bethany's sexay love man votes?



The hope

the fight

the dirty trick

there'll be a deafening little click

when Bethany's sexay love man votes.



A drink

a sigh

a cry

a hike

o, what will the world be like

after Bethany's sexay love man votes?
