(instrumental intro)

Oust Mr. Trent Lott now, because
His friends can't defend his flaws.
Reasons were flimsy when he made noise
Sayin' Strom should have won; showed no poise.

Lott must go! He ought to know.
Lott must go! He ought to know.
Oust Mr. Trent Lott, quick, quick, quick!
Alibis flimsy, and they won't stick.

Lott's words were shocking, so he caught hell.
White power mantra worked so well.
Such was his folly, to act surprised.
Talk like a bigot gets you despised.

Lott must go! He ought to know.
Lott must go! He ought to know.
Oust Mr. Trent Lott, quick, quick, quick!
Alibis flimsy, and they won't stick.

Some on the right wing would be his shill.
They believe Lott's notorious swill.
Lott's getting hammered and may get sacked.
Now from the White House, he's been attacked.

Lott must go! He ought to know.
Lott must go! He ought to know.
Oust Mr. Trent Lott, quick, quick, quick!
Alibis flimsy, and they won't stick.
