The Racist
Hillary confessing to Irving Berlin's
"The Hostess With the Mostes' On The Ball"
(I'm the chosen party giver for the White House clintele)

When the Rev'rend Jeremiah misspoke as some will do,
Did I let it all blowover, or keep reminding you
That if my approval ratings start to fall,
I could prove to be a racist after all?

If you've got the stomach for it, watch what Fox News has in mind,
Fabricating far beyond the wildest I've designed
So if ever my approval ratings fall,
I'll be the basest racist of them all.

I have writers and nail biters who're prepared to take a swing
At ev'ryone I denigrate as Martin Luther King.
Which I'll do if my approval ratings fall
Making me the basest racist of them all.

So far I've failed to abdicate or match Obama's charm,
But am becoming Cheney's equal generating an alarm.
So with my approval ratings in free fall,
I'm the racist who's the basest of them all.
