The Lyrics

There is a house 'bout which he keened:
"House of Ronald Reagan."
He was overdoing the annoying dumb ploy.
Ron's job he hasn't won.

His mother brought forth failure;
At his birth, she screamed.
His father was a gov'nor man
Where GM once dreamed

Now the only thing a gov'nor needs. . .
Make a presidential run
Is tan under California skies
Where there's plenty of sun.

[Mormon Tabernacle Choir interlude]

Don't come from where there's blizzards
As in Mass or Mittchigan.
In "M" states, it's mighty wintery.
He moved southwest did Ron Reagan.

Wannabe did not have a real platform,
And that's what made him a bane
But he wanted to run D.C.
By hiring crooks from Bain.

There is a house 'bout which he keened:
House of Ronald Reagan,
But his hopes were ruined, and he's a poorer boy.
Thank god now he's all done.

I'm not totally sure of the pacing, but this cracked me up - especially the part about the Morman Tabernacle Choir.
