lyrics

If you go on down to D.C.
Where the air is nice and seedy
There's a whole mess of ways that you can have some fun

Where the pockets all got pockets
And if you bring a man a problem
He'll find four score and seven ways to get jack shit done

That spells trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill

Paid off the shadows
Made beeswax of your business
They'll arrest you on suspicion of being suspicious

Riding greenback legislate
Through purple mountains real estate
Employees should wash hands and shave the constitution as they please

Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill

Well at the banks, they're doin' the dip
At the courthouse, they're doin' the slip
On the lobby floor, they're doin' the stoop
At the podium they do the loop dee loop

Well at the banks, they're doin' the dip
At the courthouse, they're doin' the slip
On the lobby floor, they're doin' the stoop
At the podium they do the loop dee loop

Hold up accusations
They hold up a baby
Say democracy is paving ways for ladies and men

Orwell becomes Kafka
And the front door has been locked up
Saying "Out measuring wool, be back in ten"

Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
Trouble with a Capitol Hill
