Goodbye Senator No
Good riddance to Senator Jesse Helms, who will not run for re-election
(Sung to the tune of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John)

(instrumental intro)
 
We thought that you'd never kick off
Thought you'd always hang on
We thought you'd keep your seat
In the Senate 'til the end of time.

We thought you'd be there forever
Then you uttered that fateful "No"
We couldn't contain our jubilation
We couldn't believe that you really would go...

So goodbye, Senator No
It just won't be the same without you!
Oh, no more grand filibusters,
No anti-civil rights coups!

North Carolina'll be such a great place
Without the confederate toad.
Oh I can finally see a real future now
Without old Senator No... 

Who will embarrass us now?
Who'll try to block each bill?
Who'll sit in the pocket of Big Tobacco,
Make their agenda his will?

Maybe the Pubbies will find some
Homophobe good old boy
Someone who ain't got a scruple,
Willing to be the GOP's brand new bright toy...

So goodbye, Senator No
Try to take your friend Strommy with you!
We need new blood in the Senate,
A Democrat honest and true.

You've been around for so very long
It's the end of an era, we know.
But we'll all be so much better off
Without old Senator No...
