The Lame Duck Waltz

[Pab Sungenis]

(to the tune of the Tennessee Waltz)

I was up with Condoleeza
In the Lincoln Bedroom
When the voters I happened to see.
I ignored them, I despised them, and while we were waltzing
The voters took my mandate from me.

I remember the night the election was held
Now I know just how much I have lost.
I lost my little mandate while the voters were singing
The old bittersweet Lame Duck Waltz.

I was visiting with the troops
In the Baghdad Green Zone
When Don Rumsfeld I happened to see.
I was handing out fake turkey, but while I was shilling
My Rumsfeld took his leave of me.

I remember the night the election was held
Now I know just how much I have lost.
I lost my little Rumsfeld while the gen'rals were singing
The old bittersweet Lame Duck Waltz.

I was hunting with Dick Cheney
In a canned hunt preserve
When Pelosi I happened to see.
I invited her to join us, but while we were hunting
She gave a subpoena to me.

I remember the night the election was held
Now I know just how much I have lost.
I lost my Presidency while the Congress was singing
The old bittersweet Lame Duck Waltz.
