Why Would I Leave?
To be sung with Helen Morgan to the Jerome Kern tune
"Why Was I Born?"
(…Why am I living?)

Why would I leave?
I've built these bases.
Spent zillions on them.
They're my show places.
Kellogg Brown & Root will add casinos,
Import Latinos,
End Fox turmoil.

Why would I lie?
They'll need our Air Force –
Why alibi?
Bomb Eye-ran, then outsource –
What, me a fool?
Don't be disloyal.
My plan's to swap
More nukes for oil.
