                            "I'm Just A Bill"

  			   ---------------

  			  School House Rock

  

  

  D             Em7      F                              Eb

  (Kid) "Whew!  You sure gotta' climb a lotta' steps to get to this Capitol 

                         C                   G    Am  G

        building here in Washinton!  Well, I wonder who that sad little scrap 

  

        of paper is?" 

  

  G

  I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill

               C7

  Well it's a long, long journey to the capitol city.  It's a long, long wait 

                                         D

  while I'm sittin' in committee - but I know I'll be a law someday, at least 

         Em   F                       Eb                      C

  I hope and pray that I will, but today I am still just a bill.

  

  

              G      Am      G

  (Kid) "Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage."

  

  (Bill) "Well, I got this far.  When I started I wasn't even a bill, I was

  

         just an idea.  Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, 

  								   C7

         so they called their local congressman and he said, 'You're right, 

  

         there ought to be a law.'  Then he sat down, wrote me out, and 

  

         introduced me to Congress, and I became a bill - and I'll remain a 

  	     D

         bill until they decide to make me a law."

  

     

  G

  I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I got as far as Capitol Hill.

  	      C7

  Well now, I'm stuck in committee, and I'll sit here and wait, while a

  					       D

  few key congressmen discuss and debate whether they should let me be a law.

  	   Em7  F

  How I hope and pray that they will, but today I am still just a bill.

  

  

         G

  (Kid) "Listen to those congressmen arguing!  Is all that discussion and debate

  

        about you?"

  

  (Bill) "Yeah, I one of the lucky ones.  Most bills never get this far.  I

  					     C7

         hope they decide to report favorably, otherwise I may die."

  

  (Kid) "Die?" 

  			     G

  (Bill) "Yeah, die in committee.  Ooh, but it looks like I'm gonna' live.

  			D

         Now I go to the House of Represenatives and they vote on me."

  	C7

  (Kid) "If they vote 'Yes,' what happens?"

  		G

  (Bill) "Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again."

  	D

  (Kid) "Oh, no."

  

  (Bill) "Oh, yes!"

  

  

  G

  I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and if they vote for me on Capitol Hill,

  	       C7

  well, then I'm off to the White House, where I'll wait in a line with a lot

  						     D

  of other bills for the President to sign, and if he signs me then I'll be a law

             Em7  F			Eb		      C

  How I hope and pray that he will, but today I am still just a bill.

  

  

  		 G     Am    G

  (Kid) "You mean, even if the whole Congress says you should be a law,

  	G

        the President can still say no?"

  

  (Bill) "Yes.  That's called a 'veto.'  If the President vetoes me, I'll

  

         have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that

  

         time you're so old, you...

  	C7							  D 

  (Kid) "By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law.  It's not

  

        easy to become a law, is it?" 

  

  (Bill) "No..."

  

  	       Em7  F 			  Eb			 C

  But how I hope and pray that I will, but today I am still just a bill.

  

  

  (Congressman) "He signed you, Bill.  Now you're a law."

  

  (Bill) "Oh yes!"
