When Bush Leaves This World Behind
Sung to Irving Berlin's tune
"When I Leave The World Behind"

Bush is a millionaire without a worldly care,
But one thing's on his mind.
He's planning for the day when he can slip away
And leave this mess behind.

He'll leave us in a hole, a country on the dole,
Controlled by movie stars.
While Arnold learns the drill and struggles with the bill,
Bush will be approaching Mars.

He'll leave the Congress with the powers
   to sell our parks to the Chinese –
He'll leave our old folks with their mem'ries
   of the days when we had trees –
He'll leave our jobs to his illegals –
He'll leave our bankruptcies to banks –
Alaskan oil to Halliburton –
And Karen to convey his thanks.
