E-L-E-C-TOR-AL   Electoral College - we've got a tale to tell!      So what if we don't have a football team?   At least we never have to write a theme   No classes, no professors, no tuition   Yet we're the goal of every politician   Because everyone who graduates becomes the president   (Ta da!)      I'm gonna send your vote to college   When you vote for president   And if you'll let me share some knowledge   You'll understand this big event!      The folks who wrote our Constitution   Had the idea for this plan   And it's been used in our elections   Since our government began      When you pull down on my levers for the person of your choice   You're also choosing state electors, who will have the final voice   They're called the electoral college, and they'll meet to stipulate   Who the voters have selected to be the winner in each state      Now, the number of electors   That your state is going to get   Is based on total population   That's a formula that's set      And when the popular vote is counted   To find a winner in each state,   Each state will pledge all of its electors   To choose the winning candidate!      I like it! I like it!      E-L-E-C-TOR-AL   Electoral College - and we deserve a yell!      And even if the vote is close   And someone wins by just a little, tiny hair   Electors give that person all their votes   And it's considered fair and square!      I'm gonna send your vote to college   When you vote for president   And now the electoral college   Will work the way our founders meant      So what if they don't have a big macho football team?   It's every politician's special dream!   Because everyone who graduates   Yes, everyone who graduates   Everyone who graduates becomes the president!
