Trouble
To be sung with Bushie to Irving Berlin's
"Cheek To Cheek"
(Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so…)

Trouble, I'm in trouble
Like the Hubble where abandonment's my plan,
Won't they go away if I ignore Iran
Knowing I've shown I'm no good at man-to-man?

Trouble, I'm in trouble.
Little Kim is so determined we should speak,
But, as you no doubt have seen, my yellow streak
Makes me hesitant to meet pipsqueak-to-squeak.

Though I much admire nefarious
   and wars fought on the cheap,
I feel safer with vicarious
   than I do with creep-to-creep.

So far Bolton's proved unbendable
   like a farm boy with a sheep.
Who've I got that's as expendable?
   I'll maybe go with veep-to-veep.

Glance at him.
Now there's a bully for you,
And those damn rants with him
Are like a room with no view.

Trouble, lots more trouble,
If he can't distinguish birds from Peter Pan,
Like if Kim wears green and gets it in the can,
All because I'm so afraid of man-to-man.
