Royo lost a lot that day
When Trish left the shack
But that wasn’t all he lost
And he ain’t comin’ back

First came gun rights
With woke in their sights
And charter schools too
Then Reg Reform
And the NC Farm Act just to name a few

Last stop Election Law
Royo put his veto down
Let it roll
Said one more veto oughtta do it
One last shot ‘fore we quit it
One for the road…

Veto
Whoah oh oh oh
Not withstanding his
Objections, no
Not watchin’ that majority grow

Veto
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh
Maybe one more time they’ll sustain it
One last shot ‘fore we quit it
One more for the road…

Royo won’t be runnin’
Not havin’ much funnin’
After he lost the vote
When the House overrode it 
That was all she wrote

Now he’ll be makin’ a bee line
Stumpin’ for his boy Josh Stein
Runnin’ for guv
No glory now you’re a lame duck
With your House minority shrunk
No more vetoes for the road…

Royo
Whoah oh oh oh
Lookin’ to the future
Workin’ for Joe
Royo’s a waitin’ for the go

Royo
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh
Wants a new job in the cabinet
While Joe runs from his basement
Better head out on the road

Royo
Woah oh oh oh
He’s raisin’ money
He’s a real pro
Royo’s waitin’ for the go
Royo
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
