Regrets
To be sung with Ethel Waters to Cole Porter's
"Miss Otis Regrets"
(Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam.)

Miss Otis regrets but her houseboat is full today,
Bushie.
The sea level's rising and friends have no place to stay.
She is sorry but Abu Ghraib
Turned her off and left her dismayed,
Bushie.
Miss Otis regrets but her houseboat is full today,

When she read in The Times
That your White House might wash out,
Bushie,
And your plan for Iran
Meant burning more coal each day,
She traded her SUV
For a houseboat where she'd be queen bee,
Bushie.
Miss Otis regrets you like torture so Anchors Aweigh.

When Dick Cheney cried, "Mercy,
Who knows a dyke with a pail?",
Bushie,
She turned up her nose and said,
"What makes you think I'm gay?
You've one of your own at home,
You ugly duplicitous gnome."
Miss Otis regrets but her houseboat is full today,
