Never a Year Like ’09 (2009 Year in Review) lyrics

Of the years that have passed in time
No, there has never been one like '09!
43 was pushed out the door
And 44's a bit darker than before!

There was fraud in Afghanistan
And a Twitter revolt in Iran
There was Crowley and Gates, and don't forget Jon and Kate
No, there was never a year like '09!

Yes, there was packed town halls
Turned finger-biting brawls
"There's gonna be a public option!"
"Wait, it's out!" "No, wait, it's in"

Oh, Gov'nor Palin quit, Bill Clinton picked up chicks
Whilе the Swine Flu wrapped around thе globe!
Yes, there was late night lust, and auto kings went bust
In the Hudson, Captain Sully made a splash

Michael hit the bong, there was an octomom
To '09, we sing, "so long"

Olympic bids were spurned
And Michael Vick's returned
Brett Favre's coming back
"No wait he's out!" "No, wait, he's in"
Joe Wilson yelled "You lie!"
Balloon boy soared so high
"I run a burnt-out, bankrupt Golden State!"

We spent the kitchen sink to pull back from the brink
We learned that Carrie puts on quite a solo show!
Was he hiking trails? Or chasing hot, sexy tail?
Where did Gov'nor Sanford go?

There was change at the highest court
A wise Latina named Sotomayor!
And a surprise Nobel award
For what? Nobody was really quite sure

Muammar Gaddafi fumed
Three wolves, they howled at the moon
Farewell '09, you'll be over real soon!

We hope you rest in peace
Billy Mays, Patrick Swayze
Walter, Farrah, Ed, Senator Ted Kennedy
Farewell, King of Pop! (We really liked your movie!)

Play him off, Keyboard Cat!
Sure there's stuff we missed, like Levi Johnston's johnson
That's it for our list, he's gonna let us finish!
Yes, it's the end, but we'll do it again
In the year two-thousand ten!
