Im Just A Bill Lyrics

Wow! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in
Washington!

Hey who's that sad little scrap of paper? 



You
really wanna know?



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 capitol city

It's a long, long wait

While I'm
sitting in committee

But I know I'll be a law someday

At least I
hope and pray that I will

But today I am still just a bill



Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage!



BILL: I guess. I mean,I got this far. But when I started, I wasn't even a
bill. I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law
passed, so they called their local congressman and he said, "You're right,
there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to
Congress, and I became a bill. And I'll remain a bill until they decide to make
me a law.



I'm just a bill

Yes I'm only a bill

And I got
as far as Capitol Hill

Well, now I'm stuck in committee

And I'll sit
here and wait

While a few key congressmen discuss and debate

Whether
they should let me be a law

How I hope and pray that they will

But
today I am still just a bill



Listen to these congressmen arguing!
Is all that discussion and debate about you? 









BILL: You know it is, I'm one of the lucky ones, as most bills never even
get this far. If they don't report favorable on me, I'm gonna die.



Die?



BILL: Yeah, die in committee. (Billy, you're up) Yeah,
looks like I'm gonna live! I'm gonna go to the House of Representatives and
they're gonna vote on me.



If they vote yes, what happens?
