OK, I think my new song parody is done.
Remember, you sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."

There's a chickenhawk in Texas
who's now the president.
Though he lost the election,
the end result was bent.

He used his daddy's power
to keep out of Vietnam.
He joined the Texas Air Guard,
and then went on the lam.

CHORUS:

He's the biggest goddamned doofus
the country ever knew.
To think he's in the White House!
It makes me sad and blue.

You may speak of Warren Harding
and of Adams, John Quincy.
But the Chickenhawk from Texas
is the worst to ever be.

He has two drunken daughters
and a drug-addicted niece.
But when they get arrested,
he just calls the police.

He says, "Keep the all the others,
but I want those ladies out."
When your daddy's in the White House,
you have a lot of clout!

(Repeat chorus)

He's owned by corporations,
so the people can pound sand.
And yet there's lots of poor folks
who eat out of his hand.

But that's really not surprising
coming from those dittoheads.
Their brains are in their asses.
From the shoulders up, they're dead!

(Repeat chorus)

I'd compare him to Dick Nixon,
but Nixon was too smart.
I'd compare him to Bill Clinton,
but he lacks Clinton's heart.

I'd compare him to his daddy,
but he makes daddy cry.
I'll compare him to Bin Laden.
Can you guess the reason why?

(Repeat chorus and fade)

Thanks to a fellow DUer (whose name escapes me now) for the majority of the last verse!

1. My buddy Toby did something similar once
just focusing on the chorus. I had suggested Sparky the Chimp as a Dubya nickname, and he counterproposed a song, as follows:
It's set to the Yellow Rose of, um, Texas:

He's a
snarky little ratbastard, cheeseball idiot boy ,
snarky little ratbastard, cheeseball idiot boy ,
snarky little ratbastard, cheeseball idiot boy ,
snarky little ratbastard, cheeseball idiot boy !

The "rat" gets two beats.

2. I like it! I always love a good parody.
But, where you wrote "keep the all the others"--was that intentional or did you accidentally put the two 'the's in?

Never said I was perfect! :shrug:
