Im Just a Bill (my version) Matthew Weikert 2024-03-24 | LyricsBoy: Whew! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is? Bill: (sings) I'm just a billYes, I'm only a billAnd I'm sitting here on Capitol HillWell, it's a long, long journey to the capital cityIt's a long, long wait while I'm sitting in committeeBut I know I'll be a law somedayAt least I hope and pray that I willBut today I am still just a billBoy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage. Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called the head of Congress and he said… Head of Congress: You're right, there oughta be a law. Bill: Then a local Congressman sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill. And I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law. (sings)I'm just a billYes I'm only a billAnd I got as far as Capitol HillWell, now I'm stuck in committee and I'll sit here and waitWhile a few key Congressmen discuss and debateWhether they should let me be a lawHow I hope and pray that they willBut today I am still just a billBoy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you? Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favorably, otherwise I may die. Boy: Die? Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me. Boy: If they vote yes, what happens? Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again. Boy: Oh no! Bill: Oh yes! (sings)I'm just a billYes, I'm only a billAnd if they vote for me on Capitol HillWell, then I'm off to the White House where I'll wait in a lineWith a lot of other bills for the president to signAnd if he signs me, then I'll be a lawHow I hope and pray that he willBut today I am still just a billBoy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no? Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old… Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?Bill: No… (sings)But how I hope and I pray that I willBut today I am still just a billCongressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law! Bill: Well, alright!

Tyrannosaurus Debt (my version) Matthew Weikert 2024-03-22 | LyricsTour Guide: To your left, folks, is the Washington Monument, to your right, the White House. And over there, just beyond the Capitol, is the National Debt! Tourists: Ooh! Wow! Frollo: (sings) There's something huge, red, white, and blue that's grazing in D.C.It's gobbling up the taxes that are paid by you and meIt doesn't seem to notice, we really can't affordThe billions that it's costing us to pay its room and boardIt doesn't roam, but seems content to dwell on Capitol HillAs long as trucks keep pulling up with tons of greenback billsWe've got to feed the big guy, we really can't forgetIt has an awesome appetite, Tyrannosaurus DebtTour Guide: The debt was born in 1790 when our new government took over 75 million the colonies spent in the Revolutionary War. Frollo: (singing) We've got to feed the monster so it doesn't get upsetIt's got an awesome appetite, Tyrannosaurus DebtTour Guide: Alexander Hamilton, our first Secretary of the Treasury (he's on the 10, you know), wanted a federal debt to provide a reason to establish taxes to support our new nation.Frollo: (singing) The debt was young, they kept it small; they didn't know back thenIn 1812 another war would make it grow againBy '66, the Civil War had cost the nation millionsThe government in Washington now had a debt of billionsTour Guide: The Civil War ran up a debt of almost three billion dollars that still wasn't paid off by World War One. Frollo: (singing) We're spending money we don't have, or so it would appearThe deficit is that amount we overspend each yearThough congressmen and senators make vows to cut its sizeDespite their honest efforts, the debt just seems to riseTour Guide: Now the debt's over five trillion dollars and still growing! Frollo: (singing) A balanced budget would be great to spend within our meansTo stop the monster in its tracks before we bust our seamsIt feeds on just the interest; its appetite is whetIt never ever stops to rest, Tyrannosaurus DebtTour Guide: And this is the U.S. Treasury. It sells Treasury Bonds, bills, and notes, and savings bonds to finance the debt. The U.S. government promises to pay the owner interest plus the value of each bond at a future date. Frollo: (singing) We've got to try to tame the debt and bring it down to sizeTo let it grow unchecked like this is certainly unwiseThe debt's a monster problem that we really can't ignoreI guess we should be grateful that it's not a carnivoreWe've got to keep on servicing our trillion dollar petIt's got a monster appetite, Tyrannosaurus DebtA fiscal misadventureWith trillion dollar denturesTyrannosaurus Debt!Tour Guide: Feeding time is ALL the time.

Ready or Not, Here I Come (my version) Matthew Weikert 2024-03-19 | LyricsCount Von Count: Now everybody, try to find a good hiding place. This old tree is going to be the base. I'm going to close my eyes and hide my face and count to a hundred by fives. Ready? Go! (sings)5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 4045, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 8085, 90, 95, 100Ready or not, here I comeApples, peaches, pumpkin pieWho's not ready, holler "aye" Patrick: Aye! Count Von Count: Oh, all right, I'll count it again. But you better get hid, kid. Here we go. (sings)5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 4045, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 8085, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120!(speaks)There! (sings)A bushel of wheat and a bushel of ryeWho's not hid, holler "aye"Twenty nickels make a dollarI didn't hear anybody holler5 times twenty is 100, everybody got to be hidAll eyes open, here I comeWhoo!(speaks)Multiplying by five is a little like counting by five. In fact, if you counted along on your fingers as you counted out loud by fives, your fingers would tell you how many fives you've got. Okay, let's count it together, now. Count on your fingers… one finger for each count out loud. Get set, ready? Go! Pipe Organ: (singing) 5, 10, 15, 20Count Von Count: STOP! 20! You got four fingers, see, that means 5 times four is 20. Let's try another one. Get set. Ready? Go! Pipe Organ: (singing) 5, 10, 15, 2025, 30, 35Count Von Count: STOP! 35? Seven fingers… That's right! 5 times seven is 35. Okay, now let's try an even longer one. And when you run out of fingers at 50 - you see, because 5 times ten is 50 - then start over with the same fingers and remember that you owe ten. Get set, ready? Go! Pipe Organ: (singing) 5, 10, 15, 2025, 30, 35, 4045, 50, 55, 60Count Von Count: STOP! Ten and two, right? That's twelve fingers. 5 times twelve is 60. See how it works? Now you may notice that if you multiply five by an even number, your product will end in zero; and if you multiply five by an odd number, your product will end in five. Okay, now let's do one more game of counting by fives on our fingers. This is a really long one. Just keep going. Get set. Ready? Go! Pipe Organ: (singing) 5, 10, 15, 2025, 30, 35, 4045, 50, 55, 6065, 70, 75, 8085Count Von Count: STOP! 85… seventeen fingers… Look at that boy with seventeen fingers sticking up! How did you do that, kid? Anyway, 5 times seventeen is 85. See, that's three fives short of a hundred. If you had three more nickels, 15 cents, then added the 15 to the 85, you'd get a hundred, right? (sings)Because five times 20 is 100Everybody got to be hidPipe Organ: (singing) 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 4045, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 8085, 90, 95, 100All: (singing) Ready or not…Here I come
