ACLU in Afghan poppy time?
ACLU will change their names to mine.
So when they say,
"We want to stay."
Bushies can enter by the hundreds each day.

Think how wonderful the US will be –
Mexican Bushies to lie to you like me.
Lawyers will whine,
"Where is the crime?"
In Afghan poppy time.

What do you get when Vincente Fox
Convinces most of his disgruntled shysters
That tequila's great with Jagermeisters?
More random shots by Mexicans.
Will I ever do a shot again?

What do you get when the ACL
U thought helped call girls in Nevada
Discovers Nevada's enchiladas?
Penicillin shots for Mexicans.
Will I ever need a shot again?

Refrain
Don't tell me I wasted a shot.
Illegal Mexican? Most decidedly not!
I'm Dick Cheney and I'm here to remind you
With telephone tapping I'm right here behind you.
What would the ACLU do
If our president spoke no Spanish?
If Lou Dobbs found no one to banish?
And I couldn't take a shot again?
If I couldn't take a shot again?

What do you get when Fox's drug lords'
Vehicle of choice is the stolen Lexus
Parading at will through Crawford, Texas?
A Bushie shot by his own men,
Mistaken for a Mexican.

To 'Cheney, The Shooter'


Arrivederci Roma, George Bush is back ecstatic.
He's finally figured out a use for junk stored in his attic.
Instead of holding galas for a secret Bush museum,
He'll favor Crawford, Texas with "The Vinnie Colliseum."

He'll feature Fox-illegals who will joust for each Bush trinket.
Racist or demeaning? Don't say or even think it.
He's said we need them to do things that we natives wouldn't,
Like joust and tilt in public if Mel Gibson thinks we shouldn't.

Tilting's a Latino thing. Remember Don Quixote's?
Instead of windmills we like blondes like Miller's, not Capote's.
So who'll decide each winner? How 'bout using Jeb's idea
To hold a Crawford conclave naming Thomas or Scalia?

But any proper conclave must be secretive, of course,
So he'll depend on Cheney to get the cart before the horse,
And spearhead the discussions as to who should make each call.
Another big mistake as Dick picks Dick to run it all

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.

Do call for your pardon by phone
   before someone new's counting noses,
And the voice that you hear saying, "Cheney, mi Dios!"
   is the son's of the guy who sprays roses.
One who talks Mexican, an ex-Fox Mexican,
   who admires ev'rything we own.
Will the joy we showed as Mexicans flowed
   North soon become his and theirs alone?

He talks and the sound of his voice
   is common but how'll we understand?
For the language he speaks
   is a language we formerly panned.
Yet he talks Mexican, like ex-Fox Mexicans,
   who admire ev'rything we own.
Will the joy we showed as Mexicans flowed
   North soon become his and theirs alone?

Some say that the sprayer you need
   is your son or even your spouse,
Or the voice that you hear saying, "Cheney, mi Dios!"
   could be kicking you out of your house,
For they talk Mexican, are ex-Fox Mexicans,

Guaranteed to vote with our religious right

Their Vincent Fox, like Lou Dobbs, mocks
   Bush Junior's bright idea
To make it legal for illegals
   wanting to work here.

Right-wingers gloat they'd likely vote
   for Junior and his minions,
Fleecing blue states, increasing red states
   votes by many millions.

But Fox can't wait to see 'mandated'
   future legislation
And fears a lid on getting rid
   of excess population.

Wouldn't you expect that Bush might find it odd
That Fox would only want to ship his poor abroad?
Does Bush suspect he couldn't tax the rich
Without hearing his supporters bitch?
Bush can't let his new illegals be,
He'll be taxing natur'lly.

Fox can't afford too large a horde
   while cat'ring to his wealthy.
His powers that be would like to see
   Bush feed paisanos healthily,
Taxing natur'lly, folks who've got no do-re-mi.

To help them flee illegally,
   Fox publishes instructions
Which have Bush miffed at seeing stiffed
   his hopes for mass inductions.

Bush hadn't planned to show his hand
   for drafting more 'recruits',
But folks who weed would fill his need
   for anyone who shoots.

If Fox annexes most of Texas
   because of its location
Won't most applaud and thank the Lord
   and send Bush on vacation?

For our skinny shows that Vinnie
   now holds all the aces,
That soon DC is going to see
   who Vinnie Fox replaces.

Then ev'ry paen who's been fleein'
   north to earn a living
Won't like living hand-to-mouth
   and will head south natur'lly.

What kind of shocks will Vinne Fox

Banking laws to freeze what's paid

He's assured his voters
   that it's good for Mexico
To bypass immigration laws
   and then send home their dough.

But instead of going back
   to prop up his regime,
That dough will go to trust funds
   that Fox can not redeem.
Funds that will be used to pay for
