There's an old man name of Mitch McConnell
That's the old man we don't want to see.
What does he care if our health ain't covered?
What does he care 'bout our misery?
Old Man Fibber
That Old Man Fibber
He says it’s Health care
He knows it’s wealth care
But Old Man Fibber
He keeps on rolling the con
He don't like workers
He don't like renters
He likes them tax cuts
For one-percenters
But old Man Fibber
He keeps on rolling the con
You and me, we sneeze and cough
Had some health insurance, but we got kicked off
If we should die before we wake
'least we know we’re dying for some billionaire’s sake
I hope that Mitch has
A good physician
‘cause heartlessness
Is a bad condition
But Old Man Fibber
He keeps on rolling the con
Now it’s even worse thanks to Senator Mitch
Don’t get sick, and don’t get old
The ACA’s been McCornholed
Kept it quiet to pass it quicker
The rich get richer, the poor get sicker
But Old Man Fibber
Could not be glibber
A bad ad-libber
Who tends toward gibber...ish
Old Man Fibber
He keeps on rolling the con
That's the old man we don't want to see.
What does he care if our health ain't covered?
What does he care 'bout our misery?
Old Man Fibber

He says it’s Health care
He knows it’s wealth care
But Old Man Fibber
He keeps on rolling the con
He don't like workers
