MN HOUSE MONTY PYTHON SONG PARODY: THE DEMOCRATS BRAVELY RAN AWAY

On January 14, work began at the Minnesota State House, with only state Republicans showing up for work. The Democrats refused to come to work with the Republicans holding a 1-seat majority. One Democrat, Curtis Johnson, lost his seat when it was discovered that he didn't live in the house district where he ran.

Three weeks later, and the Democrats still refuse to show up. This situation reminds me of that Monty Python character Sir Robin who 'bravely ran away':

T'was when the session started,

The democrats bravely stayed away

They cheated and they lost a seatI

Insisting that they still get paid 

We love spending your tax dollars

and all the corruption, graft, and fraud

Brave, brave, brave, brave D.F.L 'ers!!!!

Leigh Finke and the democrats

refused to come and do their job

We are bravely not showing up to work

We'll send a psychotic mob

One yelled thru a bullhorn

I cannot repeat what he/she said

They demanded we share power

They sent Steve Simon instead

How DARE they oppose us!

WITHOUT A QUORUM!!!!

How DARE they contest us!

We'll run away from this FORUM!!!

If they invite us to come back

We will just ignore 'em!

Brave D.F. L'ers!!!!

There's much work to be done, here in The Minnesota State House, but

The D.F.'ers. REFUSES to come in to work

(WHAT????!!!!)

They BRAVELY refuse to do their job

(THEY WHAT?????!!!!)

The Republicans don't have a quorum

So, if they don't share power, WE'LL INGNORE THEM!!

(IGNORE 'EM!!!!!)

The D.F.L. lost their TRIFECTA on Election Day

So, they just took their ball and RAN AWAY!

(GO ON!!!!)

We'll just bravely not go to work

and we'll bravely STILL GET PAID

Brave, brave, brave D.F.L.'ers!!!!
