Too Busy *
(Sung to the tune "Too Busy")

Too busy making speeches
Censoring what Darwin teaches –
Color's out until they need it again.

Too busy hooking tubes up –
Too busy cov'ring boobs up –
Black or white is de rigueur until then.

Does that mean that we're securer
Or, heaven help us, he's unsurer?
When we get to vote next time we'll see, dear.

He's too busy with his courtin'
Making sure no one's abortin'
After he helps them get pregnant again.

When he thinks that we don't dig it,
He promotes another bigot –
Next election, no more slips of the pen!
