Ask First
Sung to the Gershwin tune "Who Cares?"

Ask first who's in charge
Of the world, of D.C. –
Ask first if you think you want to date me –
Ask which of them will be the one to rate me –
Ask if Bush cares for you.
Ask if Fox cares for me.

Ask first, can we wed
If we find we're in bed?
Let's make sure before we both go bonkers,
Or this could be another week-end lark in Yonkers.
Ask if Bush cares for you.
Ask if Fox cares for me.

Let them pass new laws –
Let them decide who's Santa Claus –
For how they contend with
No new recruits to defend with
Should not concern you and me
As we celebrate a fait accompli, but

Ask first, if you're pregnant,
Who they'll name as the defendent.
Will they admit, though I'm eighty-three,
The child will have my pedigree?
Ask if Bush cares for you.
Ask if Fox cares for me.
