Any Campaign You Run
Hillary sings to Barack to Irving Berlin's
"Anything You Can Do"
(Anything you can do, I can do better)

Any campaign you run, I could run better,
If ev'ry hate letter I got were for you.
Any dough you can raise, I could raise more,
If only the stories I raised were all true.

I can scrape the gutter with ev'ry word I utter.
I'll make your November look like New York's September.
I will do most anything
Not to become a second-string ding-a-ling.

Any score you can bowl, I could bowl higher
So I bowl higher? What good would that do?
Any hole I dig for you finds me deeper –
Deeper in debt and still losing to you.

Why do people hate me, curse me and berate me?
I am more deserving, and not all that unnerving.
I will do most anything, but
Pull my damn hat out of that Goddamn ring!

Any sweet talk you talk, well, I would talk sweeter,
Except my personna's not near sweet as you.
So if you don't quit pretty lickety splitty,
I'll run out of cash and God knows what I'll do.

I suppose much of this will be leaked to the pundits.
Myself, I'd have shunned it, but pundits need fuel.
Have I threatened you? our nation? our party?
Or forecast a nastier four-year renewal?
