Song by Deluxx Fold Implosion<br /><br>

Wow! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington!<br>

Hey who's that sad little scrap of paper? <br>

<br>

You really wanna know?<br>

<br>

I'm just a bill<br>

Yes, I'm only a bill<br>

And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill<br>

Well, it's a long, long journey<br>

To the capitol city<br>

It's a long, long wait<br>

While I'm sitting in committee<br>

But I know I'll be a law someday<br>

At least I hope and pray that I will<br>

But today I am still just a bill<br>

<br>

Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage!<br>

<br>

BILL: I guess. I mean,I got this far. But when I started, I wasn't even a bill. I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local congressman and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill. And I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.<br>

<br>

I'm just a bill<br>

Yes I'm only a bill<br>

And I got as far as Capitol Hill<br>

Well, now I'm stuck in committee<br>

And I'll sit here and wait<br>

While a few key congressmen discuss and debate<br>

Whether they should let me be a law<br>

How I hope and pray that they will<br>

But today I am still just a bill<br>

<br>

Listen to these congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you? <br>

<br>

BILL: You know it is, I'm one of the lucky ones, as most bills never even get this far. If they don't report favorable on me, I'm gonna die.<br>

<br>

Die?<br>

<br>

BILL: Yeah, die in committee. (Billy, you're up) Yeah, looks like I'm gonna live! I'm gonna go to the House of Representatives and they're gonna vote on me.<br>

<br>

If they vote yes, what happens?<br>

<br>

BILL: Well, then I got the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.<br>

<br>

GIRL: Oh no!<br>

<br>

BILL: Oh yeah!<br>

<br>

I'm just a bill<br>

Yes, I'm only a bill<br>

And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill<br>

Well, then I'm off to the White House<br>

Where I'll wait in a line<br>

With other bills<br>

For the President to sign<br>

And he signs me then I'll be a law <br>

How I hope and pray that he will<br>

But today I am still just a bill<br>

<br>

You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the President can still say no?<br>

<br>

BILL: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress, and they vote on me again, but you know by that time...<br>

<br>

By that time, it's very unlikely that you become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it? <br>

<br>

BILL: No!<br>

<br>

But how I hope and pray that I will<br>

But today I am still just a bill<br>

<br>

CONGRESSMAN: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!<br>
