I'm Just A Bill
Artist:Deluxx Folk Implosion
Wow! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington! Hey who's that sad little scrap of paper?
You really wanna know?
I'm just a bill Yes, I'm only a bill And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill Well, it's a long, long journey To the capitol city It's a long, long wait While I'm sitting in committee But I know I'll be a law someday At least I hope and pray that I will But today I am still just a bill
Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage!
BILL: I guess. I mean,I got this far. But when I started, I wasn't even a bill. I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local congressman and he said, 'You're right, there oughta be a law. ' Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill. And I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.
I'm just a bill Yes I'm only a bill And I got as far as Capitol Hill Well, now I'm stuck in committee And I'll sit here and wait While a few key congressmen discuss and debate Whether they should let me be a law How I hope and pray that they will But today I am still just a bill
Listen to these congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?
BILL: You know it is, I'm one of the lucky ones, as most bills never even get this far. If they don't report favorable on me, I'm gonna die. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Die?
BILL: Yeah, die in committee. (Billy, you're up) Yeah, looks like I'm gonna live! I'm gonna go to the House of Representatives and they're gonna vote on me.
If they vote yes, what happens?
BILL: Well, then I got the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.
GIRL: Oh no!
BILL: Oh yeah!
I'm just a bill Yes, I'm only a bill And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill Well, then I'm off to the White House Where I'll wait in a line With other bills For the President to sign And he signs me then I'll be a law How I hope and pray that he will But today I am still just a bill
You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the President can still say no?
BILL: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress, and they vote on me again, but you know by that time...
By that time, it's very unlikely that you become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?
BILL: No!
But how I hope and pray that I will But today I am still just a bill
CONGRESSMAN: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!
