Well, Ralph never did drop out, and Bush 'won' again, but on the bright side, it appears that this time Ralph Nader didn't personally cause Kerry to loose any state!
Lyrics
Dear Ralph, don’t make me want to do your namesake
Dear Ralph, I think your running is a mistake
Four years ago I voted for you
I thought it was the thing to do
I thought that your heart was pure and true
But now I have my doubts
And I’m hoping that you drop out dear Ralph
Dear Ralph the writing’s on the wall to read
That Ralph you are unsafe at any speed
You haven’t any hope of winning the race
The best you can do is a lame 3rd place
But if you quit you can save your face
And turn this ship about
And I’m praying that you drop out dear Ralph
Spoken: Ralph, I keep searching my heart, to find the right words to convince you that my love is true. And all I want is what is best for everybody. But what you need to do right now, is turn around walk out that door and never look back.
Dear Ralph, this is where the party ends
Dear Ralph, there is no reason to pretend
So I’m on my knees and I’m begging you please
Not four more years of this Bush disease
Can’t you see the forest for the trees
Oh, please don’t make me shout
Cuz I’m asking you please drop out, dear Ralph
And I’m begging you please drop out dear Ralph
And I’m pleading please drop out, dear Ralph
