    |
0015|     
    |
0016|       WHEREAS,
    |
0017|                       Oh, give me a home,
    |
0018|                    where the P.C. folks roam.
    |
0019|              And buffalo get Clinton's health care.
    |
0020|                                 
    |
0021|                       Where federal court
    |
0022|                      is the forum for sport.
    |
0023|                 And hunting will soon be a tort.
    |
0024|                                 
    |
0025|                             REFRAIN
    |
0001|                   Home, home of the strange,
    |
0002|            where the judge and the litigants play.
    |
0003|                      Where never is heard
    |
0004|                      a shot at the herd.
    |
0005|                And the buffalo die of old age.
    |
0006|                                
    |
0007|                    Where hunting for game 
    |
0008|                   once brought Indians fame.
    |
0009|             Now they shoot craps and not buffalo.
    |
0010|                                
    |
0011|                      Today it's blackjack
    |
0012|                      and gaming compacts.
    |
0013|             Oh, roadblocks may soon stop the flow.
    |
0014|                                
    |
0015|                            REFRAIN
    |
0016|                   Home, home of the strange,
    |
0017|            where the judge and the litigants play.
    |
0018|                      Where never is heard
    |
0019|                      a shot at the herd. 
    |
0020|                And the buffalo die of old age.
    |
0021|                                
    |
0022|                       Let felons go free
    |
0023|                      and prisoners flee.
    |
0024|            Watch youngsters shoot innocent crowds.
    |
0025|                    But have a buffalo hunt 
    |
0001|                  and the Greens pull a stunt.
    |
0002|               For humans count less than a cow.
    |
0003|                                
    |
0004|                            REFRAIN
    |
0005|                   Home, home of the strange,
    |
0006|            where the judge and the litigants play.
    |
0007|                      Where never is heard
    |
0008|                       a shot at the herd.
    |
0009|                And the buffalo die of old age;
    |
0010|                                
    |
0011|                                     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE
