Fools Fooling Around
To be sung with Peggy Lee to the tune
"I Don't Know Enough About You"
(I know a little bit about a lot of things, but)

I've learned a little bit
But never quite enough
To keep from showing I'm still a fool.
Instead of terrorists
On our most wanted lists
I worry there should be a new rule:

To lead a proper life
Covet thy neighbor's wife,
Assuming she's the opposite sex,
For if we find she ain't,
We'll file a stiff complaint
And cut you off from lobbyists' checks.

Lacking a trade, and not Pop's fav'rite son,
It became a game
To see who could find a new goof for me
Which explains how I soon became

A Jerry Falwell tool
Who'd push his stupid rule
Instead of saying who will get to
Escape from Mexico
And blow up – I don't know –
Whatever Chertoff now lets them do.
