Hypocrite Mitt and Bain's Demon Fiddlers (To be sung to the tune "Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street") Their tongues were quick, their words were wrong: Mitt noncommittal, aims at getting along. Rush, his second fiddle, attempts to provoke. Mitt tries to treat each of their gaffes as a joke. Both made their millions when they stuck to their knitting. When they didn't, their comeuppance? Suitably fitting. Second fiddle spokesmen don't always work out When they're piggily-wiggily, stubborn and stout. Bain and Rush Radio are taking a hit And it's mostly the fault of Hypocrite Mitt. Those lies about health care that he perpetuates: Massachusetts not a bit like The United States? When he can't convincingly laugh off his second fiddle, No longer does Mitt sound all that noncommittal. Dog lovers dislike him. Now women do, too. Thank God these guys blew it before Mitt's dreams came true. Now that we know who Mitt's VP would be, And the amateur porn that Rush likes to see, They have to hope Bain or Fox News survives So, like Sarah Palin, they can get on with their lives. Will Bain buy Fox News to give Limbaugh a mike Since his prior supporters have taken a hike? By two thousand sixteen can Rush learn noncommittal? Will their rolls be reversed? Will Mitt be second fiddle? How far will we see D.C. Republicans fall? Will Mitch, John and Eric do any fiddling at all?
