I'm Just an Earmark

[This post is dedicated to the "$1,000,000 for the Waterfree Urinal Conservation Initiative" earmark.]

This link from Terrence Berres inspires this:

I'm just an earmark
Yes I'm only an earmark
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill
And there's just one lame Congressman here in the city
Who wants me to pass so he'll have more in his kitty
Because it's all about him keeping his job
And so I've got a good chance every day
Yes I've got a great chance
To get passed.

And there are friends in committee who look a lot like me,
like a new fence for the mayor out west there in Pougkeepsie,
or a grant to discover how to keep from getting tipsy,
oh yes you know we'll be added someday,
with some pork-laden padding today
to a bill!
