The Lyrics

Written on the 59th birthday of Our Fearless Moral Appointed Wartime Leader With a Purpose.
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.
Oy, yi, yi, yi, yeah.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-wa.
Phony baloney.
Phony baloney.

Phony baloney. (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)
That's what he gives us tonight. (Oy, yi, yi, yi, yeah.)
Phony baloney (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)
from this guy who's far-right. (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)

There goes my country
right down the drain.
It's gone forever
'til end of his reign.

And phony baloney
that's why
we cry.
Phony baloney

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.
Oy, yi, yi, yi, yeah.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oh-oh-wa.
Phony baloney.
Phony baloney.

Phony baloney. (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)
Count the lies he's gone through. (Oy, yi, yi, yi, yeah.)
Phony baloney (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)
Why, oh why, oh why won't he be true? (Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)

In two thousand eight
new President.
No more dead weight.
But until then
yoooou've gotta take...
all the lies Bush can shake.
Phony baloney.
(Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, he, oh, yeah.)
Happy birthday to you, dumb George W. You look like a monkey, and you smell like one too!

Have you seen todays pressc onference at the G8 meeting, where Tony Brittano is reading up the statement they've all written together and the rest of them stands in the background like wax doll stiffs with their arms straights to the side (except for Silvio Missilino who are crossing his in the second row). It struck me as odd the way Dubya's eyes kept flickering all the time, as if looking for directions, can't he even stand up straight on his own without Mrs Dubya and/or Dick Cheney? Weird I say.

I never saw Tong's version until now, and, frankly, he's done much better. No, I haven't yet seen today's press conference, though I did notice that Her Majesty -- Georgie probably wished he had one of her titles, "Defender of the Faith" -- sad between Blair and Chirac, not between Blair and Bush. Perhaps she read the reference to "England's real unhappy Queen" in "We Gotta Get Bush Fired," and thought it was "right as rain." And Peter, don't forget the other one who keeps him going, Karl Rove, a.k.a. "Bush's Brain."
