Is Yours Like Ours?
To be sung with Bob Hope to the tune
"Thanks For The Memory"
(Thanks for the memory of candelight and wine,)

Thank your democracy.
Its gobble-de-gook
Qualified as a fluke,
And his 'Swap-for-Nukes'
We hope someone rebukes,
But is yours like ours?

Ruled with hypocrisy
By inept yahoos,
Incumbents can't lose.
They gerrymander districts
So voters can't choose.
Is yours bad as ours?

Many's the kind he's exporting.
The question is which kind you got.
Our original 'demo-',
His 'auto-',
Or his new 'theo-cracy' rot?

Does your democracy
Come with guarantees
To not pay finders fees
To snoop on ev'ry citizen
And torture whom they please?
Or is yours like ours?
