Asking White Males
Being sung by two white males in Pennsylvania to Irving Berlin's
"A Couple Of Swells"
(We're a couple of swells; we stop at the best hotels)

We're a couple of blokes
Who sometimes swap sexist jokes,
But when those pollsters nose around,
    we quietly sip our cokes.

We're a couple of guys
Who won't be caught wearing ties,
So if Gallup sends his group around,
    our mouths will be full of fries.

Meet The Press would put us on the air,
Thinking we've opinions we could share.

But our daughters want Obama
    in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame,
While our wives think that the Clintons
    put Days of Our Lives to shame.

So we'll pass on the fat guy
    with his thirty-seven chins,
Yes, we'll pass on the fat guy,
We must pass on the fat guy
    to try to save our skins.
