KID: HEY, WHO LEFT ALL THIS GARBAGE ON THE STEPS OF CONGRESS?
AMENDMENT: I'M NOT GARBAGE.
(STARTS SINGING)
I'M AN AMENDMENT-TO-BE, YES AN AMENDMENT-TO-BE,
AND I'M HOPING THAT THEY'LL RATIFY ME.
THERE'S A LOT OF FLAG-BURNERS,
WHO HAVE GOT TOO MUCH FREEDOM,
I WANT TO MAKE IT LEGAL
FOR POLICEMEN TO BEAT'EM.
'CAUSE THERE'S LIMITS TO OUR LIBERTIES,
AT LEAST I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THERE ARE,
'CAUSE THOSE LIBERAL FREAKS GO TOO FAR.
(SPOKEN)
KID: BUT WHY CAN'T WE JUST MAKE A LAW AGAINST FLAG-BURNING?
AMENDMENT: BECAUSE THAT LAW WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
BUT IF WE CHANGED THE CONSTITUTION...
KID: THEN WE COULD MAKE ALL SORTS OF CRAZY LAWS!
AMENDMENT: NOW YOU'RE CATCHING ON!
KID: WHAT IF PEOPLE SAY YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN THE
CONSTITUTION?
(SINGS)
AMENDMENT: THEN I'LL CRUSH ALL OPPOSITION TO ME,
AND I'LL MAKE TED KENNEDY PAY.
IF HE FIGHTS BACK, I'LL SAY THAT HE'S GAY.
(SPOKEN)
CONGRESSMAN: GOOD NEWS, AMENDMENT! THEY RATIFIED YA!
YOU'RE IN THE US CONSTITUTION!
AMENDMENT: OH YEAH!
