I Can't Remember Boo Little Johnny McCain describes his memory problems while singing new lyrics to the song "I Don't Remember Christmas" (…and I don't remember you.) I love watching television when that senator comes on I don't remember his full name. His first I think is John. He looks somewhat familiar but each time I hear him speak, He spouts something I might have felt but prob'ly not this week. You wanted Rights For Women and maybe thought that he did too, But no way does he remember what had struck a chord with you. It's essential that you tape him 'cause he can't remember beans, Not only what he's saying, but what the hell he means. That's why when he is interviewed, it becomes a little game – A monitor with captions on to remind him of his name. And though he specifies no tape, somebody always does So that he ends up refuting what most obviously was. He can't stick to a story line. Is his mem'ry going cold? Or is it more expedient to change tales he has told? That vote for Family Planning you had hoped that he was for? I'm afraid all he remembers is what Vicki Iseman wore. I used to hear old senators were suff'ring from dry rot. Now look what my Republicans are finding they have got. I can't remember what it was I meant to say or do. What makes you think there's any way I won't remember you?
