To the tune of Woody Guthrie's Philadelphia Lawyer; feel free to add verses. Mudelf feel free to correct spelling of Philadelphia in thread title, mwah.

I would sing this Monday but it is too painful.

Notorious
by Mrrzy

Way out in Reno, Nevada,
All the way to the Washington halls
They are mourning our Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The jurist with most of the balls.

Come, all, and we'll go a-walking
Down where the flags are less hoist
By the great old white Capitol building
To the Court with her dissenting voice.

She made it through several Presidents
Some right and some left as was she
Most white and one half, but they all did
Respect her jurist's expertise

She argued for feminist causes
And championed the weak and the small
The gays and the straights and the weirdoes
Will all miss her step in that hall

She stood up for all who were needful
Till she could not stand up at all
She argued against power mongers
And took no steps back, nor did fall

Now tonight in our beautiful country
And wherever the long highway whines
There's one less Washingtonian jurist
In our Supreme Courthouse tonight.
