Foley Went Down
(Sung to the tune of "Blow The Man Down")

(instrumental intro)

The GOP's squawkin' 'bout looming defeat
Say they, "Foley went down!"
Ignited a scandal for which they take heat
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Foley's on-line encounters are stuff we read now
Say they, "Foley went down!"
All their excuses failed, they cry, "That's enough, now!"
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Said he was gay; Foley went down.
Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Foley's party in anguish, this election year.
Say they, "Foley went down!"
Shot with their own arrow, by scandals, they fear.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Revelations unzippered, how far did it go?
Say they, "Foley went down!"
Did much harm, so much harm; this scandal won't slow.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Said he was gay; Foley went down.
Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Bad, the way things are going for the G.O.P.
Say they, "Foley went down!"
Foley's scandal has triggered a meltdown, we see.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Flush the House of their racket that went way too far.
Say they, "Foley went down!"
Now fate's knocked them down; hypocrites, what they are.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Said he was gay; Foley went down.
Foley went down; yes, Mark Foley went down.
Covered up crimes, and Foley went down...

(repeat refrain and fade)
