They're Coming To Philadelphia

They're Coming To Philadelphia
(Sung to the tune of "America" by Neil Diamond)
Guest song parody by Regina Litman, rslitman@philly.infi.net

Far...
Coming from near and afar.
The U.S. is their home,
Dubya Bush is their star.

Free...
They don't want folks to be free.
Their minds do close,
And hang up on our dreams.

In their cars and on the planes,
They're coming to Philadelphia!
Turning all their backs on gains,
They're coming to Philadelphia!

Here, and I wish they'd go far away,
They're on the far right today,
As I eye their big swarm.
As I eye their big swarm.

Here, to a old and a shiny place.
Make the schoolkids say prayers and grace.
Freedom's fight getting stormed.
Freedom's fight getting stormed.

Everywhere around the world,
Eyes are on Philadelphia.
Every time those cameras whirl,
Eyes are on Philadelphia.

Got a dream of winning this year,
They're coming to Philadelphia!
Got a dream that I don't share,
They're coming to Philadelphia!

They're coming to Philadelphia!
They're coming to Philadelphia!
They're coming to Philadelphia!
They're coming to Philadelphia!

THIS WEEK!
THIS WEEK!
THIS WEEK!
THIS WEEK!
THIS WEEK!

This city has for thee,
A cracked bell of liberty,
Of thee I sing,
Of thee I sing!

THIS WEEK! (repeat a few more times)
