Good mornin', captain; Good morning' son;
Do you need another child-skinner out on your new road line?

Now, down to business


Truth is these past 35 years/ Too many governors Too Many Beers/
Members of the 'ssembly have clung to budget Hopes (Well,fantasies, Thar Pat) "stead a'confrontin' our pensions on the Ropes!

(Chorus)Good mornin', captain; Good mornin', son;
Good mornin', captain; Good morning' son;
Do you need another kid -skinner out on your new road line?


” Old Quinn said. “I'm proposin' a budget that includes spendin' cuts/ Reductions 'n reforms to restore fiscal Struts!
Stability to our state,buildin' and a growin' economic Kale/ Ypu can travel down to Dwight/ On my new high speed rail.”

( Chorus) Good mornin', captain; Good mornin', son;
Good mornin', captain; Good morning' son;
Do you need another brat-skinner out on your new road line?

Since I’ve been Governor, we already nixed the doubters/ by working all together to enact reforms, Ye Pouters.
Like no-nonsense ethics standards Like reforming the workers’ comp/Unemployment insurance systems/ Let's Do the Pat Quinn Stomp!

( Chorus) Good mornin', captain; Good mornin', son;
Good mornin', captain; Good morning' son;
Do you need another breed-stopper out on your new road line?

In WWII The sailors said: “We Stick—We Win!? Terry Cosgrove says that every day Hear what I'm Sayin Jim?
Yanks kno 'stick together'and 'work for the common good?'/ It's Land o'Lincoln Rube, We do the stickin in!

The sailors had a motto: “We Stick—We Win!”
Americans know when we stick together and work for the common good, we all come out ahead. We all win.
Loyalty to the common good is far more important in Illinois today than loyalty to your caucus or loyalty to your lobbyist
