Congressional Headlines
Being sung after the Crocker-Petraeus testimony
to Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll"
(Cigarette holder which wigs me over her shoulder, she digs me)

Headlines reported, sans sources,
"Senate is thwarted! (between courses)
Neutralizing aggrandizing pols.

"Party placeholder re-quizzes –
Info withholder gee whizes –
And withstands grandstanding pol.

"Placeholders sit at the whim of a public
    that's fit to be tied at how dumb
Congressional questions and placeholder questioners
    in HD-TV have become.

"Older placeholder, the idjit,
Blew straight-from-the-shoulder while Gidget
Bandkrolls him, her senile pol."

Music & Original Lyric by
