The ultimate non-PC anthem for Elizabeth Warren
I’m surprised this is even allowed on YouTube these days. I learned it as a little girl:
This isn’t the version I learned, but here you have the visuals:
The New Neo
A blog about political change, among other things
Beat me to it.
This does seem like a natural for her campaign song for Warren’s 2020 run for the presidency.
LOL. I thought about that song the other day but figured YouTube had pulled it for being un-PC.
And it is….. THE NEW NEO FOR THE WIN!
There are quite a few memorable songs in that show but that’s not one of them, which is only appropriate for our Senatoress. Even Irving Berlin has an off day.

By the banks of the Charles River,
Right across the shining gilt dome,
On the application job-worth,
Near the old prestigious brick yard,
Lieawatha, also known as
Spreading Bull and Fauxcahontas,
Filled her out the little boxes
Checked she off the lie, “Cherokee.”
Never thinking she’d be found out
Thinking much of salary bloated
Contemplating huge fees speaking
Prestige endless, public office.
Thought she, “What’s one little white lie;
Lesser still one little red one?”
In she turned the application.
Made she Harvard swoon in virtue
“Have we now our red professor!
Better still, red not in one way,
But in two, with massive virtue,
From her ancestors oppressed.”
Drew she then the massive salary
As her students became debt-slaves.
Ran she then for public office,
With her resume of virtue,
And she won but still some noticed
That her story didn’t add up.
…
The scansion is not always on target, but the piece as a whole hits the bulls-eye.
Saw a good one on facebook today: ” I just bought a Jeep. I’m calling it Elizabeth Warren. It’s white and says it’s a Cherokee” It was accompanied by a picture of your standard white Jeep Cherokee.
Warren should consider moving to Cleveland, joining the Indians’ staff, and replacing Slider as the Tribe’s mascot. After all, the Indians play in a ballpark called Progressive Field.
I vote for Mrs. Bob Fosse, Joan McCracken .
