You know Reid and Pelosi,
And Baucus and Wyden,
Landrieu and Harkin,
And Schumer and Biden.
But do you recall
The most famous sell-out of all?
Benny, the red-faced sell-out,
Had a very empty purse.
Now, if you see what’s in it,
You would even say it’s cursed.
All of the other sell-outs
Used to laugh and call him names,
They never let poor Benny
Join in any sell-out games.
Then one snow-bound Saturday,
Reid called Ben to say,
“Benny, with that purse so light,
Won’t you take this cash tonight?”
Then all the sell-outs loved him,
And they shouted out with glee,
“Benny, the red-faced sell-out,
You’ll go down in history!”
