Can she hang onto Texas?

You Can Talk About Your Clementine...

By Rick Horowitz

There's a yelling rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
Her name is Rodham Clinton, they call her Hill-a-ree,
She battles with the best of them, just listen to her shout,
But her polls are running backwards and her time is running out.

She's the sturdiest of flowers, she bends but never breaks,
She's ready for a struggle, for anything it takes,
You can talk about New England states, and even O-hi-o,
But she'd better carry Texas or it's time for her to go.



Once upon a time this rosebud was standing tall and proud,
She traveled 'cross the country, she said to ev'ry crowd,
"When I become your president" -- no ifs or ands or buts,
And it didn't even matter that some people hate her guts.

She's the sturdiest of flowers, she bends but never breaks,
She's always on her message, she never makes mistakes,
She's a juggernaut in action, of course she's going to win --
Now she'd better carry Texas or she takes it on the chin.

She was counting on a cakewalk, but then she got a shock,
Her rear-view mirror was empty, then suddenly Barack,
He caught her, then he passed her, he left her in the dust,
So she's down to final chances and the Lone Star State's a must.

She's the sturdiest of flowers, she bends but never breaks,
She can't believe she's losing to amateurs and fakes,
Watch her wow 'em in McAllen, and San Antonio,
So she'd better carry Texas or she'll really have to go.

Now the days are growing precious, the hours are growing short,
She's rallying her forces, she's pleading for support,
A dream she's had forever, she'll chase it town to town,
She'll live to fight another day or have to shut it down.

She's the sturdiest of flowers, she bends but never breaks,
The wind is getting stronger, the ground around her quakes,
She can "coulda, woulda, shoulda," and speak of might-have-been,
But she'd better carry Texas or there's nothing left to spin.
