China Quickly Drops Its Bid For Unocal
Sung to the Cole Porter tune
"Where Is The Life That Late I Led?"

We in the Congress may have reacted way too suddenly
When China outbid Chevron for Unocal.
Those Chevron lobbyists were pressuring us, oh, so generously,
Why interrupt their largess and imperil our own morale?

Where are the perks we thought were ours?
Where is the pork? The mistress's flowers?
Where is the dough we planned to find
Hunting with Cheney in his duck blind?

A congressman's pay is a mere bagatelle –
We'll miss the "Quack",
John Bolton is back,
While the Chinese say "No way in hell."

Where are the bribes that should be ours,
With more ev'ry month, not just a few hours?
