When Vioxx caused more heartattacks
   and had to quit the fray,
And Merck execs got parachutes,
   folks blamed the FDA.
Even CNN assumed
   they knew who'd been caught nappin'
Until we figured out just how
   a thing like this could happen.
Put the blame on Mike, boys,
   put the blame on Mike.

He levied fines on CBS
   for flashing Janet's breast.
But doesn't care a whit what Merck
   insists we should ingest.
Put the blame on Mike, boys,
   put the blame on Mike.

Ads to ask your doctor if
   expensive drugs will help
Get approved without a Michael
   whimper or a yelp.
Put the blame on Mike, boys,
   put the blame on Mike.

While Bush's FDA is simply
   falling on its face,
Mike Powell's FCC runs a
   prescription relay race.
It wasn't just the FDA
   that Merck execs caught nappin'.
Junior Bush still won't admit
   a thing like this could happen.
But put the blame on Mike, boys,
   put the blame on Mike.
