Bush Presiding
(Sung to the tune "Beg Your Pardon")

You're out of work
    – Bush presiding.
A policy quirk
    – Bush presiding.
Some laugh while you cry?
    Well, fiddle-de-dee.
Economics apply.
    The rich pamper me.
So I cut their tax
While you got the ax
And a few more Bushwhacks
    – Bush presiding.

The economy tanked
    – Bush presiding.
Your credit card yanked
    – Bush presiding.
But please understand
    this went just like I planned.
Labor's cheap in Thailand,
    so for those who got canned,
With really strong backs
We supply a pickax
And assorted Bushwhacks
    – Bush presiding.

Your bills are unpaid
    – Bush presiding.
No government aid
    – Bush presiding.
With the cost of the war
    I've no room to maneuver.
What you've got on your hands
    is a new Herbert Hoover,
With gifts to the rich
    and lost jobs to the poor,
For running this mess
    can't be toujours d'amour
    – Bush presiding.
