Buying Bushie's Congress
To be sung with Lisa Kirk to Cole Porter's
"Always True To You In My Fashion"
(If a custom-tailored vet asks me out for something wet,)

If the Chairman of Gillette
Needs a bill to make your pet
Shave before it gets fed ev'ry day,
And the Chairman's jet is offered free to Congress,
You can bet pet whiskers won't be turning gray.

Now that Pfizer's 'greatest' pill
Has been found to make folks ill
They'll need a bill that says their pill's OK.
So daily doses of Viag'ra free to Congress
Are a sure fire way to sway the FDA.

When Verizon's CEO
Hears complaints access is slow,
Sending dough to Congress is the fastest way
To outlaw Cablevision's damn commercials
And kick the Knicks out of the NBA.

Having learned Exxon's top brass
Wants to see cars waste more gas
You can bet your ass we'll tax the middle class
For disclosing larger leaks in Hummer gas tanks
For the grass that Exxon sends us won't be hay.

Though you've had it with their ads
For scads of bright doodads
For bribing Mexicans to stay away,
Be sure to send large quantities to Congress
And pray they start admitting they're all gay.

When you hear that ethanol
In Brazil fuels nearly all,
That's a call that should enthrall the USA,
So with a little global warming help from Congress
Bush can finance sugar cane in Iowa.
