Send For The Gowns
(Sung to the tune "Send In The Clowns")

Here is the pitch.
Here's how we'll win.
Supposing my twins appear strapless
   showing some skin?
A little twin skin?
A guaranteed win.
So where are the gowns?
Send for the gowns.
Or else a bear skin.

We said at the start
They'd never campaign,
But if we do this right
   they'll be drinking champagne,
And given free rein,
Feeling no pain.
So where are the gowns?
Send for the gowns.
We're in the fast lane.

A true tour de force.
How about this?
If, after my speech, each twin gets to
   auction a kiss?
French-kisser bliss,
Though Ashcroft may hiss.
Quick order those gowns.
Send for those gowns
Rove says this can't miss.
