A. Romeo Gonzales
(Sung to the tune "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly")

I'm Romeo Gonzales.
Yes, that's my middle name.
But Junior thinks I'm Anthony.
Now isn't that a shame?

"Find a way to say OK
To any kind of torture
And he'll make me his nominee
Touting torture natur'lly."

There's no doubt they'll figure out
Who was behind that memo,
Getting Bybee to agree
Pain ain't what it used to be.

You won't have to know who thinks torture's great
When you find it's your turn to interrogate.
You won't have to know what Geneva says
Now we've made clear the policy of your prez.
What's his cup of tea? Torture, nantur'lly.

Temporary trauma's fine
If it don't last forever.
A little strychnine in their wine?
As Rummy says, "Whatever…"

Threaten with a vicious dog,
Or babes in wee bikinis,
Eggnog or a mug of grog.
Make them dream of Jeanie's.

When they go with Romeo
And give me my new office,
You will see a busy bee
So Bush can torture them and thee.
