Callie -

Cat may want to shoot me for this (you might, too, I suppose). Daniel had the original (warped) idea, and I'll admit I was the perp that finished it :-)

Count 'Em Slow
Words by Melissa Glasser
TTTO: Play It Slow by Cat Faber

	Count 'em slow, count 'em slow, It's the seventh of November
	And I want to win the tally; count 'em slow, go slow
	It's the Y2K election, if you happen to remember,
	And I know that I will win it if you only count 'em slow

We had a lively vote and then were trying to absorb it We knew something must be up, because the tally oft would change Then the morning sunlight dawned, the Gulf coast vote at last was totaled And we still had not a clue who was the winner of the game

	Count 'em slow, count 'em slow, It's the ninth day of November
	And I want to win the tally; count 'em slow, go slow
	It's the Y2K election, if you happen to remember,
	And I know that I will win it if you only count 'em slow

So we staggered off to work, our features worn and taunt and haggard Yes, We'd have the final total, sure, in just another day Then the evening news was on, the song once more then was repeated How we still had not a clue who was the winner of the game

	Count 'em slow, count 'em slow, It's the 'leventh of November
	And I want to win the tally; count 'em slow, go slow
	It's the Y2K election, if you happen to remember,
	And I know that I will win it if you only count 'em slow
