Why worry what voters say?
Those issues are so mundane.
We still grin though Hamas holds sway
Knowing that we'll feel no pain.
Critics will find the crisis will pass.
That's our philosophy.
In Britain they'll indulge in a cuppa,
But that never has done much for me.

My White House basement has a bar
Where they serve Dick Cheney and me,
Where we'll have another whiskey sour
And toast Israeli bonhomie.

Though troubles double for others,
And may require an alibi,
We'll have another whiskey sour
While Scottie sells our latest lie.

Some favor sarsparilla.
Others like a cold root beer.
But we find a strong pain killer
A more satisfactory idea.

We've always seen a silver lining
Where others see a cloudy sky,
So we'll have another whiskey sour
And contemplate why navel lint stays dry.

Does what I don't know astound them,
All those things I've not heard of,
So they think I might
Not be that bright,
Or miiss something I might love?

Will I ever dare to show them
That what fits me like a glove
I learned on a beach
From a Southern peach
And not from someone above?

All those questions I get ev'rywhere
That are followed by embarrassing dead air
Indicate your Bushie Baby
Had better say a prayer

That the weight upon my shoulders
Is not the former love
I had for grass
And the cocktail glass
That they thought I'd got rid of.

If Shia grab any Bushies tonight,
Will Cheney blab about Bushies tonight?
If Shia grab any Bushies tonight,
And Cheney's blab to the media tonight
Occurs smack dab in the middle of the night,
Bush will blow his top.

A quick pursuit would prob'ly solve his plight.
To bomb Beirut would start another fight.
So he bombs Beirut to start another fight
For a quick pursuit in the middle of the night
When on a toot and higher than a kite
He'll need another pop.

According to Dick Cheney's retort
When your ratings drop down that low,
It pays to indulge in your favorite sport
And go for best in show.
So how will they get more than his ratings up
When the dope is on a pop?
An H-bomb
With aplomb
Beats an A-
Any day,
So why make Bushie stop?

The question each of us faces tonight:
Can we impeach mental cases who might
Harm us and them with their claims that each fight
Is not mayhem but a test of their right
To an executive pop?

Bottoms up! My dominoes
Fall in place but tension grows –
Bye, bye road map.
Never much for any plan,
Palestine or Pakistan –
Bye, bye road map.

We toast the hope Hamas will understand me,
Just as long as they do not grandstand me
Too long before election night
When I will be prepared to fight
Again and lie.

Bottoms up! Democracy
I export is failing me –
Bye, bye road map.
First the Shia, now Hamas,
Lawns I plant become crabgrass –
Bye, bye road map.

Unlike here where Democrats can't stand me,
But like Lieberman will still gladhand me,
Specially by election night
When I've begun another fight
With all my lies.

Lord Bushie's back to drinking and has declared it a sin
"Not to be more reverential to the power of gin."
Like who would bother with Iraq less'n he's in his cups?
Or think that Brown's the exception to loyalty corrupts?

But still complaints keep pouring in about sanctimonious plans
For taxing future whoring by religious Republicans.
Have they forgotten he's back to drinking and has declared it a sin
"Not to be more reverential to the power of gin"?

Like Poppy he says to read his lips; it hasn't happened yet,
And, despite his great successes, hardly is a sure bet.
"Yet Ashcroft says it's worth a try, so what more can I say?
The man's a paragon of virtue for his stand on décolleté."

But those who say it's discriminatory haven't heard him out.
Taxing whoring's an old story when emperors have the clout.
So Bushie's back to drinking and has declared it a sin
"Not to be more reverential to the power of gin."

He'd make sure that DeLay's exempt if he starts taxing now.
After all he's one of them and a whole lot holier than thou.
But Lieberman? Perhaps a pass although he has sold his soul
To expedite Lord Bushie's need for Federal birth control.

Under that plan Viagara won't be available to Democrats.
"Keep those birds from multiplying. We'll drink to that fat cats!"
To think that a condom's the answer, is a despicable sin.
That's why her Lord and Laura abstain by chug-a-lugging gin.

Lord Bushie's back to drinking
   and is so full of ideas,
He's mandated a breakfast of grits and
   at least a dozen sangrias,
Especially when confronting a press
   troublingly too perspicacious.
That calls for a drinker's mendacity
   and willingness to be pugnacious.

He is especially obsessed with
   plans for no SATs.
"Why should tests be determining
   who gets to score TDs?"
Instead of liberal arts schools
   fielding most football teams,
Bush believes mega-churches should
   sponsor all Rove Bowl dreams.

"Recruits would only be required
   to repeat those platitudes.
That hockey needs to heed instead
   of measuring aptitudes.
Maybe that's why he's back to drinking
   and is so full of ideas,
And has mandated a breakfast of grits
   and a dozen or more sangrias,

He'd also let Leviticus dictate
   "who will play and who'll not,
And who will throw the most Hail Marys
   knowing they're gonna get caught.
And won't their constant genuflecting
   generate much firmer abs?
Cheney grumbles he's sure that will help
   when balls are up for grabs.

"Think how much more money they'll make
   by not just saving souls,
More than all those liberal arts schools
   get when their kids score goals.
But then my coop-de-grace will come,
   when from my lofty perch,
I wipe out my deficits by
   taxing each lucrative church."

Your pain will make you sorry
   you were born Republican.
Their lawyers now tell doctors
   what they can't and what they can.
You'll live with pain, you'll die in pain
   as Ashcroft tries to ban
The law in Oregon.

DEA Chief, Karen Tandy,
Wants the world to know that brandy
Is the drug that Bush finds handy
When shouting, "bring 'em on!"

Her DEA thinks doctors
   shouldn't help you when you hurt.
The drug that they're prescribing
   must be totally inert,
Or made by manufacturers
   who greedily assert,
"Pain's what we thrive upon!"

DEA Chief, Karen Tandy,
Wants the world to know that brandy
Is the drug that Bush finds handy
When shouting, "bring 'em on!"

If you knew Bushie
Like she knows Bushie,
Oh, oh, oh what a lush.
In Tallahassee his eyes went glassy
At her splendid prima facie.

They were drinking –
Ten martini talk –
What a chassis!
Not a chance that she would balk.

If you knew Bushie
Like she knows Bushie,
You prob'ly would blush.

If you knew Bushie,
Like she knows Bushie
Oh, oh, oh what a lush.
What first impresses are not her tresses.
She banks on her tightest dresses.

Drinks on Bushie –
They couldn't stop –
The Times reporter
Waits five years to call a cop.

If you knew Bushie
Like she knows Bushie,
You prob'ly would blush.
