The forgotten Schoolhouse Rock song, rescued by "The Simpsons"

[Bucky]

Boy {spoken}: Hey, who left all this garbage lying on the steps of Congress? Amendment {spoken}: I'm not garbage.
I'm an amendment to be
Yes, an amendment to be
And I'm hoping that they'll ratify me
There's a lot of flag burners
Who have got too much freedom
I wanna make it legal
For policemen
To beat 'em
'Cause there's limits to our liberties
'Least I hope and pray that there are
'Cause those liberal freaks go too far.
Boy: But why can't we just make a law against flag burning?
Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we changed the Constitution...
Boy: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!
Amendment: Now you're catching on!
Boy: But what if they say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution?

Amendment:
. . . .Then I'll destroy all opposition to me
. . . . And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay
. . . . If he fights back
. . . . I'll say that he's gay
Congressman: Good news, Amendment! They ratified 'ya. You're in the U.S. Constitution!
Amendment: Oh, yeah! Door's open, boys!

1. I'm just a bill...

http://www.school-house-rock.com/Bill.html

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill.
