A whiter shade of green*
(A song parody in opposition to HB 503, and HB 1621 “The Bottle Bill”, with a comment that not all environmental ideas are green, but we can color these ideas as “greenback”)
Daaah, da-da-da-da-dah. Da-da-da, daaah
Da-dah, dadle-laah, dee-da
da- daaah, dadle-laah
(note to guitarist, add the wah-wah pedal)
Whow, wah, wah, wah, wah
Wah,wah
Whaaaa, wahhhhh
They skipped their brains they’re scrambled
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kinda taxsick
But the yahoos cried out for more
The house was humming harder
As the Senate went along
When we called out for another drink
The taxman brought the tab
And so it was by summer
When the taxman told the scheme
That our faces, at first just sickly,
Turned a whiter shade of green.
