The Lyrics
From "The Bu'shit Man," my unfinished parody of "The Music Man."
Till I Turn Blue
There are bills on the Hill,
With their authors always whining.
I won't be signing; I'll hold my breath,
Till I turn blue.
Guys like Byrd never die,
And they always are opining.
I won't be signing; I'll hold my breath,
Till I turn blue.
But there's a new clique
Of one-note hardnoses
Who tell me
How to treat fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew—
Like Love Canal—or pound
Hilltops into rivers with strip-mining.
The sky offers way too much fresh breath
While it's still blue.
While it's still blue.
There are bills on the Hill,
With their authors always whining.
I won't be signing; I'll hold my breath,
Till I turn blue.
Guys like Byrd never die,
And they always are opining.
I won't be signing; I'll hold my breath,
Till I turn blue.
But there's a new clique
Of one-note hardnoses
Who tell me
How to treat fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew—
Like Love Canal—or pound
Hilltops into rivers with strip-mining.
The sky offers way too much fresh breath
While it's still blue.
While it's still blue.

Awkward structuring of the concepts in the last two stanzas took this down a notch for me. Take another look at it...you got something good starting here. 444
