Bredesen and the budget

It seems our state's esteemed leader has earned himself a big ol' raise while minimum wage stayed at the same level.
In honor, the Squirrel Queen has worked up a little ditty to commemorate the occasion.
Feel free to hum along to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies theme song

"Come and listen to a story about a man named Bred,
A rich govaneer, easily kept his family fed,
Then one day he was sittin’ mockin’ you,
And up through the House came a money-adding rule.
Raise that is, pure profit, Tennessee.
Well, the whole time, you know, ole Bred’s a millionaire,
Senate said 'Bred sign that bill right there.'
Said 'Trashvegas is the place you ought to be,'
So they loaded up their raise and added salary.
Bills, that is. Votin’ fools, gubment stars. - The Bredesen Salaries!
Well now it’s time to say good-bye to Bred and all voted in.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly chippin' in.
You’re all invited back again to pay in Tennessee,
To give a heapin' helpin' of your hospitality,
Cost of Livin’ that is. Add some thou. Take your wallet out.
Y’all give more now, y’hear?
