I'm Yellow
Sung to the Gilbert & Sullivan tune
"Tit Willow"
from "The Mikado"
(On a tree by a river a little tom-tit sang, "Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow")

On that nine-eleven a famous nit wit
Sang "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow."
And they said, "Mr. President, why do you sit
Singing 'Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow.'?

"After all you've been told, did you think that they lied?
Or, unlike Cheney, have you no place to hide?"
"Yes, to both questions, plus I'm not qualified,
I'm yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow."

Then he favored them all with his patented smirk
Singing "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow.
And if you'd asked The Guard, they'd have said I'm a jerk
Who is yellow, so yellow, quite yellow.

"I suspect I'd have made an incredible nun
And to make matters worse I'm no good with a gun,"
Then having said that, skipped on Air Force One
Singing "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow."

But in subsequent photo ops he has denied
Singing "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow",
Though those who were there say he looked petrified
Singing "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow."

So we'll have to await future history books
To see if he's known for his scaredy cat looks,
And if he, like Cheney, was one of those schnooks
Singing "Yellow, I'm yellow, I'm yellow."
