Gay Sera, Sera (Opus #2)

Yet another historic week for gay rights in America, for which my theme song is "Que Sera, Sera" or "Gay Sera, Sera."  Here's a new version to commemorate this week's hearings at the Supreme Court:

When the Court heard the marriage cases
Supporters rallied outside the hall
Colorful banners, humorous costumes
Just like a festive ball.

Gay sera, sera
Whatever will be will be,
The future's equality
Gay sera, sera.
What will be will be.

Seems that the usual strait-laced judges
Will rule the usual restrictive way
Creepy Scalia, cautious Alito,
Coke-drinking Clarence, too.

Gay sera, sera
Whatever will be will be,
The future's equality
Gay sera, sera.
What will be will be.

No matter what these judges do
Gay marriage is here and it will stay
Guys wearing black robes can't do much about
Who rolls with whom in hay.

Gay sera, sera
Whatever will be will be,
The future's equality
Gay sera, sera.
What will be will be.

Clarence Thomas Speaks

In the midst of an historic week in Washington--as President Obama took on gun violence and the NRA--came this unrelated nugget: Clarence Thomas was heard speaking during a Supreme Court session, breaking seven years of silence.  Imagine.  As one of our more bizarre public figures, Thomas gets his own song today.  Sing to the tune of "Three Blind Mice":

One mute judge,
One mute judge,
Finally talked,
Finally talked.
The other day he told a joke,
We all were shocked that he really spoke,
This guy who's known for drinking a Coke
Is one mute judge.
