Lyrics

A)not jazz chor, but sad chor
Krusty the clown: well, itchy and scratchy are gone
But here's a cartoon that tries to make learning fun!
Heh, heh, heh, huh, oohhh..
Sorry about this kids... but stay tuned
We've got some real good toy commercials comming up
I swear!
(B) the amendment song
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
'Least I hope and pray that there are
'Cause those liberal freaks go to far
(Stop's singing)
Kid: but why can't we just make a law against flag-burning
Amendment: because that would be unconstitutional
Bt if we change the constitution..
Kid:...we could make all sorts of crazy laws!!
Amendment: now your catching on!
(Song fades away)
Bart: what the hell is this?
Lisa: it's one of those crappy 70's throwbacks
That appeals to generation xer's
Bart: we need another vietnam
Thin out their ranks a little
(Song returns but still talking)
Kid: but what if they say
Your not good enough to be in the constitution?
(Sing again)
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!!
Congressman: good news,amendment! they ratified ya!
You're in the constitution!!
Oh yeah! doors open, boys!
(Wild, hollering bills storm the capitol)
Lisa: so, it's true some crtoons do encourage violence!
(She punches bart)
Bart: ow
