SCROTUS
words and music
​copyright © 2015 by

Roy Zimmerman and Melanie Harby
          All hail us, and heed us
          And read us, and quote us
          The Supreme Court Republicans of the United States
​          SCROTUS!

They brought a case before us - a ruling we upheld
A private corporation can’t be legally compelled
If it violates its deep religious credo
To insure an employee against her wild … libido

For in our esteemed opinion, a woman has the right
To work for Hobby Lobby and to keep her legs shut tight
And the company, like a church, has its morality
No other church sells Elmer’s glue, but that’s a technicality

          All hail us, and heed us
          And read us, and quote us
          SCROTUS!

Now reproductive matters are private, oh yes ma’am
To be discussed between a woman’s boss and Franklin Graham
And we all recall that sexism and bigotry
Began when Eve corrupted Adam, had him wear a fig-a-tree

Yes, the laws of health insurance are full of ifs and buts
They’re covering our penises, but not your who-zee-whats
We’re insuring for Viagra and vasectomy
You say, “Well, that’s a double standard,” and that sounds correct to me.

          The Supreme Court Republicans of the United States

John Roberts - rigid as a ramrod
A model for all Constitutional students
And Samuel Alito puts the “prude” in jurisprudence

And Antonin Scalia, a genius
Or so his bio promises
Someday his head will just explode, then so will Clarence Thomas’s

And Anthony Kennedy is a swinger
We’re certainly glad to have counted him in
We’re not the Warren Court
We’re the country that’s waging war on women

A corporation is a person - moreover, it’s a man
A woman is a helpmate for to please him if she can
And a man may worship any god he pleases
Just so long as his religion is approved by Jesus

          All hail us, and heed us
          And read us, and quote us

But Ginsburg and Breyer, Kagan and Sotamayor
Booed us
They said the SCROTUS
Screwed us!
