State Of The Union
Sung to the tune "Who"

Who pulls this puppet's strings?
Who makes him say these things?
Words that weren't originally his –
Whiz kid? No, more "golly gee whiz".

Who jokes and chokes us up?
Who cooks his hoaxes up?
All of which are always so bad,
Can't he see that he's being had?

Who picked this figurehead?
Who must have loved Mister Ed?
He was so much better at math
And liked bridle more than war path.

Who'd close the IRS?
Who? Aw, go on and make a guess –
Maybe someone he thought he knew?
God, I hope that it isn't you.
