Phil Cooney Lies *
Sung to the tune "Bali Ha'i"
(from "South Pacific")

Cooney lies for Junior –
Doctors climate reports.
Disagrees with the weather
Or Bush gets out of sorts.

Cooney lies like a lawyer –
He is no scientist.
Never feared greenhouse gases
As an oil lobbyist.

Big oil's special hopes –
Big coal's special dreams –
Cooney helps Cheney
Indulge in his schemes.

As they lie you'll be stranded
As ice caps feed the sea –
You'll find you're on an island
Where one's not s'posed to be.

Cooney's lie –
Cheney's lie –
Junior's lie!
