Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist, Marc Shaiman, reworked Hairspray's unforgettable "Timeless to Me" for Harvey Fierstein to sing at a gay/lesbian fundraiser for John Kerry this evening....

"(BUSH ISN'T) TIMELESS TO ME"



COME JANUARY
IT'S GOT TO BE KERRY
'CAUSE BUSH ISN'T TIMELESS TO ME

BUSH LIKES VACATIONS
SO LET'S SAVE ALL NATIONS
BY PUTTING HIS ASS OUT TO SEA!

BUSH SPIT ON OUR CONSTITUTION
HE TRIES TO DIVIDE US WITH HATE
BUT John Kerry IS OUR GREAT SOLUTION
NOT PERFECT BUT
IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HE'S STRAIGHT.

BUSH THINKS A FAIRY
IS EVIL AND SCARY
OUR SEX MAKES HIM TREMBLE WITH FEAR

SO LET'S HOPE AND PRAY
ON ELECTION DAY
HE'S BRINGING UP THE REAR!

AND, "DUBBA-YA" TAKE NOTE
JOHN'S GOT THE LESBIAN VOTE
YOU AND YOUR DAD ARE HISTORY

LET'S GET BUSH GOOD AND GONE
'CAUSE JOHN,
YOU'RE TIMELESS TO ME

THOUGH GEORGY WINES AND DINES
YOU'VE GOT HEINZ!
YOU'RE TIMELESS TO ME.

SO, IN MY VOTING BOOTH
I'LL VOTE FOR TRUTH
'CAUSE THAT'S TIMELESS TO ME.
