CANDIDATE: One day more!
Election Day decides my destiny:
A footnote or a book of history
This summit that I've come to climb
Will not be there a second time
One day more...
VOTER: I still can't pick a side today
Don't even know if I'll be voting
CAND: One day more
VOTERS: Tomorrow seemed so far away
And both campaigns just seemed so doting...
MINOR CAND: One more day all on my own
VOTER: Maybe I'll just flip a coin
MINOR: One more day with them not caring
VOTER: Which one has the better 'do?
MINOR: If the media had shown...
VOTER: New ideas, or tried-and-true?
MINOR: But they never gave me air!
ANCHOR: One more day 'til we inform
VOTER: Do I listen to his plan?
ANCHOR: Who's the winner, who the loser
VOTER: Is it just a waste of air?
ANCHOR: When our polls tell us the norm
VOTER: Does it work, and do I care?
ANCHOR: Will you tune your dial to me?
CHORUS: The time... is now... the day... is here...
CAND: One day more!
PUNDITS: One more day to resolution
'Til they zip or are a dud
'Til they cheer and sip their bubbly
Or they drown themselves in Bud
DIRTY Flinging all the muck!
TRICKSTERS: Dishing all the sleaze!
Trashing reputations with the greatest ease!
He's been driving drunk,
She can't help but lie,
And he's been taking payments
From a Chinese spy!
TRUE One day to a new beginning
BELIEVERS: Raise the flag of reform high
Every wall will be surpassed
Special interests' days are past
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new voice to be heard!
They will hear our voice at last
VOTER: My place... is here... I vote... with you...
CAND: One day more!
WAITERS: We will put out all the hors d'oeuvres
We will watch them laugh or sigh
We will sweep up the confetti
We will look and roll our eyes
CAND: One day more!
(And everybody simultaneously singing their various verses, which I'm
not bothering to retype)
CAND: Tomorrow is the judgment day
ALL: Tomorrow is the judgment day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What all the voters have in store...
One more dawn...
One more day...
One day more!
