Losing The Cold War
To be sung with Rosemary Clooney to the tune
"Hey There"
(Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,)

You there,
You who thought I would succeed
And wouldn't make a fool of you
With cronyism and greed –

You there,
You in that dwindling crowd
Who don't mind my beating my gums at you
About how great
Life has become for you –

One little problem:
If Putin decides not to share,
He'll have us dancing on a string,
Gas prices will be a nightmare!

If he doesn't play nice,
You'll find somehow or other,
By my not raising gas taxes here,
Telling Detroit what it fears to hear,
Vladimir can make painfully clear
Who is Big Brother!
