Another Mother-in-law
Small town folk in Utah singing about Hillary
to Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"
(Missed the Saturday dance. Heard they crowded the floor.)

Verse
When I'm not laughing as the pair
    self-destructs by itself,
I think of what would really scare
    brave family men like myself.

Chorus
There is still a slim chance
Of a grim coup d'état
Where superdelgates cave in:
Damn! Another mother-in-law!

Could Barack flub the dub?
Could the Clinton buzz saw
Devise lies that would make her
A dreaded mother-in-law?

Husbands, the stress,
If the White House Big Cheese
Is Bill's Baroness,
Guarantees disease:

Ménage à trois to the doc
With bad cases of yaws
Where you find that the cause is
Not two but three mother in-laws.
