A Vote for a Winner is an Emmy-nominated song sung by Lisa in the episode The President Wore Pearls. Due to the advice of our lawyers, we swear that this is a completely original song and not based upon a popular song we're not aware of from a musical based on the life of Eva Peron that we never knew existed. The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Dana Gould. It is part of the twentieth track on the album The Simpsons: Testify. It was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Music and Lyrics in 2004. It lost to the song "Because You are Beautiful" from the TV special World VDAY.
Lyrics
- Lisa:
- And we deserve a French teacher who actually speaks French! Jaceux, Monssieur Cusperberg!
- Mr. Cusperberg:
- What is she yakkin' about?
- Lisa:
- I rest my case.
- Seymour Skinner:
- Nelson, rebuttal?
- Nelson:
- Yo, everyone, it's me, Nelson!
- Students:
- YAAAY! NELSON! NELSON! NELSON! NELSON!
- Lisa:
- I'm not that cool,
- I don't wear jeans.
- I've polished an apple or two.
- But every grape that I grubbed,
- I grubbed it for you.
- So call me bookworm,
- But I'll never squirm
- When there's work to be done.
- Yes, I'll take my lunch at my desk
- While you're all outside having fun.
- Don't vote for me, kids of Springfield,
- Unless you want an effective leader.
- I'll talk to teachers,
- I'll handle Skinner,
- A vote for Lisa
- Makes you the winner!
- Students:
- Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa!
