Elections are coming

Come, dear, put on your coat,/We have to go and vote.

Be careful to select a good candidate,/In his hands lies the community’s fate!

Okay! How about Doctor and Co?/But, honey, everyone says, "They’re completely loco!”

In that case, I’ll vote for Gev the glum./Oh, no! He’s nothing but a heretic scum!

What about the members of WAPIZ?/No! No! They’ve got no fizz!

How about an independent candidate?/In destiny’s hand lies his fate!

Then I’ll vote for my darling Dinsoo./If you do that, I’ll divorce you!

There’s no one to select,/To stay at home, I elect!

No, darling, vote you must,/Otherwise, the Parsi community will go bust!
