The Lyrics

A little temper tantrum in the Congo the other day. Our e-steamed Secretary of State showed the world what a mean, old, bitter, witchy woman looks like. It seems like she's always on the attack, always ready to fight and always in a mood. And that's on the good days. I think she's just a mean old woman. Or maybe she thought she was talking to the Cong-ress instead of the Cong-o? So Hillary, why don't you tell us how you really feel about Bill. Just a week ago old Bill stole his wife's thunder when he appeared in North Korea to rescue two American journalists detained there. His trip came just as Hillary started her tour through Africa. Ooo, that's gotta hurt.
Hey, But You’re Mean, I Say!

A hissy fit in the Congo
And showing your indignation
Because of your ex-prez husband
‘Cause he gets more admiration

Hey, but you’re mean, I say!
What’s with the cheap display?
Bill stole your scene, okay?
Think you’re the queen, you say?
Too much caffeine today?
Congo cuisine okay?
Maybe you need buffet?
Never serene, I say!

Acting like a witchy woman
Fighting with the shadows of Bill’s head
Forget about some graciousness
You would rather tell them off instead

I conclude only:
Hey, but you’re mean, I say!
My aren’t you peed today?
How ‘bout a cheap cliche'?
Did you smoke weed today?
Hey where’d the steed go play?
Are you in “need” today?
How much does each thigh weigh?
Never wear tweed I pray!

Never hear you be pleasant
Always hear you stewing over
You always have claws at ready
You always say way too much
And always to bitch and to cackle like a hen

You snapped, “I’m the Secretary!”
And you came out smokin’
Even as your eyes were scoldin’
Leading with your mouth wide open

(wide mouth)

Hey, but you’re mean, I say!
When will you go away?
They love Bill, keen dismay!
Don't make a scene, okay?
Bitter and mean conveyed!
Should we believe you’re gay?
Don’t vent your spleen, oi vay!

Hey, but you’re mean I…
Hey, but you’re mean I…

Hey, but you’re mean, I say!
Time to come clean, I say
What would it mean today?
You say sor-ry, no way!
Meanest I’ve seen this way
Like a don-key you bray
Frustrated queen display
Ain’t gettin’ weenie play
Makin’ you mean all day
Maybe you need a lay?
Ran out of things to say
But you’re still mean, okay?
Yeah, you’re still mean, I say…
I would think that the Secretary of State would be able to exhibit a bit more grace under pressure in any situation. Regardless, if you happen upon her in a dark alley, run the other way!
