Verse 1:

Little Johnny fell down man and broke his right arm
And little did he know about this mess that’s goin’ on
When he went to tell his mom I don’t think she was prepared
And when she thought about the hospital she started getting scared
See despite she had a job, and Daddy did too
Without healthcare there wasn’t much that they could do
Yes, believe the story’s true
Nothing brand new
Millions need healthcare
I’m talking me and you
We’re talkin’ to the Senate, House, and Presidents Crew
About adding new funding to put the coverage on you
But it’s uphill battle; we must unite for this fight
So when the smoke finally clears, Johnny’s mom can feel right
So the next time Johnny falls, or, starts to feel pain
FAMILIES USA puttin’ Johnny in the game;
Parents qualify, (single) Adults do too
Pregnant women come along we got plan for all of you
Tyrone Freeman told us all to unite and come through;
Raised your minimum wages and gave you healthcare too
If the Government understood they would do the same too
And that’s why PPoH wrote this song for you

Verse 2:

Now to if it’s all gonna fly we must open up wide
And then examine why the system keeps passin me by
I know you all tried, and probably got denied
Current standards tell us that we’re unqualified
That’s’ why we can’t sit by
Saddle up and ride
Lobby Every Senator and folks who walk by
Register their hope
Let ‘em know and quote
Amanda Figueroa
Cause it’s time to rock the vote
She fights for me and you,
with the SEIU
a few dollars to the COPEFUND could make it all true
so what you gonna do
we callin’ all of you
We need the S-CHIP!
The S-CHIP needs YOU!
