lirik lagu i’m just a bill – jack sheldon
(woof! you sure gotta climb a lotta steps to get to this capitol building here in washington! but i wonder who that sad little scr-p of paper is?)
i’m just a bill
yes, i’m only a bill
and i’m sitting here on capitol hill
well, it’s a long, long journey
to the capital city
it’s a long, long wait
while i’m sitting in committee
but i know i’ll be a law someday…
at least i hope and pray that i will
but today i’m still just a bill
(gee, bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage!)
(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
p-ssed
so they called their local congressman and he said “you’re right, there ought to be a law.”
then he 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.)
i’m just a bill
yes i’m only a bill
and i got as far as capitol hill
well now i’m stuck in committee
and i sit here and wait
while a few key congressmen
discuss and debate
whether they should
let me be a law
oh how i hope and pray that they will
but today i am still just a bill
(listen to those congressmen arguing! is all that discussion and debate about you?)
(yes. 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.)
(“die?”)
(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.)
(if they vote “yes”, what happens?)
(then i go to the senate and the whole thing starts all over again.)
(oh no!)
(oh yes!)
i’m just a bill
yes i’m only a bill
and if they vote for me on capitol hill
well then i’m off to the white house
where i’ll wait in a line
with a lot of other bills
for the president to sign
and if he signs me then i’ll be a law
oh, how i hope and pray that he will
but today i am still just a bill
(you mean even if the whole congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?)
(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 it’s)
(by that time, it’s very unlikely that you’ll become a law! it’s not easy to become a law, is it?)
no! but how i hope and i pray that i will
but today i am still just a bill!
(he signed you, bill! now you’re a law!)
(oh yes!)
