The Tale of Mister Morton’s Steakhouse

(to the Schoolhouse Rock tune, “The Tale of Mr Morton”)

This is the tale of Mister Morton’s

A Steakhouse down in DC

It is the subject of our tale

And when the protesters yell,

What’s Mister Morton’s to do?

Mister Morton’s sat Judge Kavanaugh

Mister Morton’s sat

Mister Morton’s took his order

Mister Morton’s took

(yes, sir, right away)

Mister Morton’s was complicit

Mister Morton’s was

Morton’s Steakhouse is the subject of the scrutiny

For the argument was full of flaws

Mister Morton’s knew about the ruling

Mister Morton’s knew

Mister Morton’s grew defiant

Mister Morton’s grew

Mister Morton’s was very angry

Mister Morton’s was

Morton’s Steakhouse was the target of attention

After the Court struck down those laws

The subject is abortion

That's a person’s human right

It's who or what the judgement is about

And the precedent overturned

That is the action (word)

That gets the people up and out

Mister Morton’s said it was an outrage

Mister Morton’s said

The people replied in the evening

“No,” is what the crowd of people said

Mister Morton’s grew very nervous

Mister Morton’s grew

Morton’s Steakhouse cried, “what about privacy?”

And the protesters said “fuck you!”

The crowd chanted

and called him out

that’s what the protesters did

(We Won’t Go Back)

Brett finished eating his dinner

Then ducked out the back and hid

Mister Morton’s talked to the media

Mister Morton’s talked

Mister Morton’s stood by Kavanaugh

And the protesters, it mocked

The Supreme Justice was a nervous man

When the protesters showed up he ran

Kavanaugh made a quick retreat

Kavanaugh he made

Kavanaugh prayed he’d get away

Kavanaugh he prayed

Kavanaugh was ornery

Kavanaugh he was

Until the people showed up with a megaphone

Who says the people can't protest?

Now the Women are unhappy

And Trans folk and NB’s, too!

And no matter what the Court says

We’ll do what we need to do
