The Couple From Hell
Being sung by The Clintons to Irving Berlin's
"A Couple of Swells"
(We're a couple of swells; we stop at the best hotels)

Verse 1
We're the couple from Hell.
We'll say anything to quell
Any effort to stop us from renting out
The White House as The Grand Hotel.

Tell us how long you'll stay;
How much you're willing to pay
For room and board and contributions toward
Our helping you get your way.

Chorus
We'd have aced the nomination but we haven't got the votes.
We're convinced we both deserve it so that really gets our goats
As we strive for re-election though we haven't got a prayer:
It's the people's recollection of the last time we were there.
Yet the new intern collection,
Yet the new intern collection,
Yet the new intern collection loves gray hair.

Verse 2
If either of us distorts
The truth about young consorts,
It's because one of us delights
In Viagara and contact sports.

Two for the price of one!
Bushie showed that it can be done.
Though a trifle flawed: he relied on God.
Can it be that he's not the Son?

Chorus
Obama's sure to beat us; that's the rub.
No wonder he's the one we both must snub
As we strive for re-election though we haven't got a prayer:
It's the people's recollection of the last time we were there…
Yet the new intern collection,
Yet the new intern collection,
Yet the new intern collection loves gray hair.
