Big John's Rag
(A two-part harmony for banjo and hatchet)
John Ashcroft is a moral man
Moral, moral, moral
A great big part of God's big plan
God, God, God
He loves his God and he loves his bible
And he's not afraid to do a little libel
He's a God-lovin' man
John Ashcroft is a thinkin' man, too
Thinkin', thinkin', thinkin'
Got a degree from Bob Jones U.
Jones, Jones, Jones
Talked to him the other night
He said "we don't have our colors right,"
Said, "Black ain't a color,
it's the absence of white"
He's a science-lovin' man
John Ashcroft is a truthful man
Truth, truth, truth
He won't lie to you, unless he can
Lie, lie, lie
His confirmation was a sight to see
He lied in writing and orally
But that's OK, 'cause he did it morally,
Just a truth-lovin' man
John Ashcroft loves his fellow man
Love, love, love
But only in a good way, you understand
Good, good, good
He don't like gays and lesbians and such
Don't like to see 'em kiss or hug or touch
...Wonder why it bothers him so much?
He's a man-lovin' man
John Ashcroft is a safety man
Safe, safe, safe
He can shoot his gun 'fore the bad guys can
Shoot, shoot, shoot
He don't like trigger locks, they say
Says it's not part of the American Way
He's a hundred percent with the NRA
He's a trigger-lovin' man
John Ashcroft is a family man
Man, man, man
He says, "Families don't need to plan"
Plan, plan, plan
Says he supports the right to choose,
But only if it's baby shoes,
And then it's just a matter of pinks and blues
He's a BIG family-lovin' man
(chorus)
John, John, good ol' John
A man we can depend upon
Your critics are full of hooey,
we love you in St. Louis
Boy, some people sure have got their nerve
John, John, good ol' John
Missouri's gon'na miss you when you're gone
You know that you can trust us:
When you go to Justice
We'll insist they give you just as much as you deserve,
We'll demand they give you all the justice you deserve
