Furlough averted this time, but while it was pending, this happened:

[Tune: Banana Boat Song]

Furlough... furlough
Furlough come and nobody show up. [2X]


Work all night till morning comes.
Furlough...
Rewardin' the rich, make the rest of us bums.
Furlough...

Furlough... furlough
Furlough come and nobody show up.

Don't need a Taliban, we got us a Tea Party
Furlough come and nobody show up.
Just got elected and actin' so haughty.
Furlough come and nobody show up.

Furlough... furlough
Furlough come and nobody show up. [2X]

Six billion, seven billion, eight's a bunch,
Furlough...
Cuttin' spending right through lunch!
Furlough...

Fur... I say, fur, I say, fur, I say, furlough...
Furlough come and nobody show up.

Don't need a Taliban, we got us a Tea Party
Furlough...
Think spendin' money makes the country too naughty.
Furlough...

Fur... I say, fur, I say, fur, I say, furlough...
Furlough come and nobody show up. [2X]
