We've Got a Lot of Livers to Do - Lyrics - Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps are an American political satire group. The group has been performing since 1981, and has released approximately thirty albums consisting primarily of song parodies. Originally consisting exclusively of congressional staffers performing around Washington, D.C., the troupe now primarily employs professional actors and singers. The Capitol Steps have performed on PBS, public radio and in various small- and medium-sized venues around the United States.

Manager: That’s right, welcome, this is your new government sponsored healthcare program. We thought it was high time your healthcare was brought to you by the same people who run FEMA. We’re confident that we’re going to be able to cover everyone, but we’re still working out a few kinks. For example, we will no longer be able to cover things like illness. Because we believe if you live a long, long life that will cost us lots and lots of money. First patient please. Yes, ma’am, what seems to be the problem? Patient 1: My head hurts? Manager: You don’t look, like you will be dead soon And there’s transplant guys who came before you Take a seat, in back with the head wounds We’ve got a lot of livers to do Yes, sir, how can I be of assistance to…oh! (scream) Wow! It looks, like your hand is missing Were you born with one hand or two Well, it’s two, then that’s preexisting You’ve got a lot of ‘splaining to do Ha, ha, ha, oh, octomom… That’s too many kids, take a few back We won’t cover you All we’ll do is put a cork in you Here’s the thing, we’re telling the voters You want healthcare, sure, we’ll give it to you For a shark attack, we need two weeks notice The costs have grown humongous So up there in the Congress They’ve got a lot of fibbing to do! Sucks to be you!
