One Cat, One Vote, One Beer Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
Hey bartender, what you say
I'm gonna get drunk on election day!
Want one glass of bourbon, one glass rye
Come on, set me up, Joe, don't pass me by
My money's alright and my feets got sore
See, I've been tryin' to vote, now 'bout an hour or more
I tried, but I didn't get nowhere
Joe, you know I just don't think they are doing this voting fair and square

[Chorus]
Better make it one cat, one vote, and one beer
Bartender, one cat, one vote, and one beer

[Verse 2]
See, I went downtown to the voting room
'Cause I wanted to get my voting done soon
Man said, "Now we're gonna have to do a little checking on you"
Come back a little later on and said
"Well, Buddy, you know your vote just can't go through
Says you've been dead, ten years back
We're sure not gonna take a vote off a, a dead red cat"
"What you say?"
"Step aside now, you're interfering with the election process, that's a crime"
"The crime is you!"
"Well, Buddy, voting is just something I don't think you're going to do"
