Song Information

"A Vote for a Winner" is a song sung by Lisa Simpson when she was trying to get the kids of Springfield Elementary to vote for her for class president.
Lyrics[edit]
- Lisa:
- I'm not that cool,
- I don't wear jeans.
- I've polished an apple or two.
- But every grade 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!
Behind the Laughter[edit]
The song parodies "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" from the musical Evita. It is part of "The President Wore Pearls (Medley)" track on the album The Simpsons: Testify.
"A Vote for a Winner" was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in the 56th Primetime Emmy Awards. However, it lost to "Because You Are Beautiful" from V-Day: Until the Violence Stops.[1]
