Song Parody of YMCA by Dr. Francis Collins performed at the GINA Celebration

People, let me tell you a tale about
Justice, which had threatened to fail, also
Fairness, which came close to derailing but
We would not allow that!
Justice, it's your own DNA, but now
Fairness, might you still have to pay more for
Health care, just a gene test away?
We must stop discrimination!

Chorus: We finally got it done, G-I-N-A
We finally got it done, G-I-N-A
Your genes are your own, you've got nothing to fear
2008 is the year
We finally got it done, G-I-N-A
We finally got it done, G-I-N-A
People come on, though we hated to wait
All the more reason to celebrate!

Heroes, there were many to cheer, like those
Members whose commitment was clear and those
Staffers, working year after year
And that awesome Coalition
Hearings, just too many to name and those
OpEds, crying "Act Now", "For Shame"-- but "No
Need now", came the responding claim,
Well then what about that railroad?

Chorus

108, well the Senate said yes, and then
109, well the House was a mess, but then
110, now the chances looked good, but then
Coburn did all he could
Slaughter, well she rallied the troops, and then
Biggert started closing the loops, and then
Teddy wiped away any doubt
And that's why tonight we can shout --

Chorus

Boston, there is joy now tonight, and in
Bangor, there are songs of delight, and in
Boise, now their hearts are so light
Because all these fears are gone -- Of the
People, that's what Abe Lincoln said, By the
People, that's how we should be led, For the
People, there is no more to dread,
And that's why tonight we can shout --
