Tyrants like me are a big cut above, So easily idolized by popular love. So worth cross-burning for. So worth forgoing more book-learning for. Your children will love the game. Once they learn Chinese, they'll forget the shame Of never having a future with me As they eat the puppies they love.
Music & Original Lyric by Cole Porter To 'Bushie's China Policies' |
Bush again buys into failure. Chile still supports its old. Without government assistance They'd be left out in the cold. Windfall fees cut into savings. Investment bankers make much hay, Praising Bush for his achievements Until China has its way. Wall Street favors more outsourcing. Current profits will be cursed. When our wage rates start to plummet, And outsourcing is reversed. "Privatized Social Security"? Another Wall Street nom de plume. China vs. more duplicity. Who will win out over whom? Despots vs. Wall Street moguls. Bush George thinks that's worth a laugh. Millions vs. millionaires? Who'll have been the fatted calf? Bob Carlson |

We in the Congress may have reacted way too suddenly When China outbid Chevron for Unocal. Those Chevron lobbyists were pressuring us, oh, so generously, Why interrupt their largess and imperil our own morale? Where are the perks we thought were ours? Where is the pork? The mistress's flowers? Where is the dough we planned to find Hunting with Cheney in his duck blind? A congressman's pay is a mere bagatelle – We'll miss the "Quack", John Bolton is back, While the Chinese say "No way in hell." Where are the bribes that should be ours, With more ev'ry month, not just a few hours?

Confucius say George Bush damn fool to expect his dollar Buy Wal-Mart more cheap Chinese if he scream and holler – He say George Bush cut tax too much while he keep on spending Money on the wrong crusade, all the time pretending That he fighting for free speech, but no filibuster. Confucius say we should expect Bush end up like Custer. Lot more Indians today than in decades prior – Than illegal Mexicans Fox push Bush to hire. * The New York Times - 5/18/05 "U.S. Warns China About Currency" Bob Carlson |
Elephants think they can fly? Are bungee cords that strong? Listen for that loud kersplat!!! The last note of their swan song. Consider Junior's "9/11," How long he's made that last, Antagonizing terrorists, The "mandate" he's amassed. As long as he can keep that up And keep his voters scared, The longer he can stay in power No matter how he's erred. To wage his wars, he's selling out To both Japan and China. The bank that holds your mortgage Won't be based in Carolina. The value of our dollar Under Bush has trouble flying. He broke another bungee cord? Good-bye to what our dollar's buying. Bob Carlson |
China detains journalists, like Bush's judges do. Some have been lucky that he and they don't hold grudges too. Inspired by China's MBI, the former IBM, Bush George will soon proclaim that he is selling us to them. Outsourcing's not enough; illegal immigrants a tease. We, including immigrants, must now become Chinese. Confucius say that those who wish to exit from Iraq, Must try persuading Chinese Army please pick up the slack. Rumsfeld Donald obviously lacks enough recruits, But once we're part of China, they'll send millions, bet your boots. Because they're buying Treasuries, financing Bush George debt, The hourly wage we're used to is the monthly wage we'll get. The good news is that Novak Robert will end up in jail. Chinese journalists aren't given medals for betrayal. Bob Carlson |

Wal-Mart trades with China? How much do they buy? Don't they know our balance is a few billions shy? How many times can we be asked what to do? Won't that depend on when treasuries come due? We can't tax the Chinese – they're way over there – Nor can we tax Wal-Mart. DeLay wouldn't dare – And if they can't buy Chinese, well, where would they buy? We've outsourced most ev'rything – that's my alibi.

Do we buy mince pies from China? In a clutch? Made from barkers or from whiners? Or some such? Do we need their help to keep our prices low? Tax them and watch where our lowest prices go. Deficits do not concern us, no not much, Until we find it's Wal-Mart's bottom line they touch. Junior says he'll let us know Which way he intends to go – Will he want to upset Wal-Mart? Not that much. Do they have cheap goods to sell us? No not much. Can they cheaper personnel us? Not that much. Will they let the dollar float And upset their gravy boat? Or will they sit back and gloat? No not much. Once they've bought us, will they sell us? For how much? Will they evangelical us? Or go Dutch? But make sure we have the yens To favor Buddhist born-agains When they shop at Wal-Mart? No not much.

When the Chinese choose to buy up Uncle Sam, Will Bush be there? And will he care? When McDonald's has to serve moo goo gai pan, Grab Bush by the collar And then holler, "Chinaman! Chinaman!" That's why we must complain If a Bush runs again, And make sure none remain Where a Chinaman can Promise to sing "Jingle Bells" While he empties our oil wells As a Bush Burns his tush On Iraqi Taliban.
