Cookies For Congressmen
To be sung to the Rodgers & Hammerstein tune
"My Favorite Things"

Cookies for Congressmen who'll do their bidding,
Pedal to metal for Bush 'pro quo quidding',
Or quid pro quo when they need a sure thing –
Hail to the Chief who pretends he's the King.

Earmarked amendments designed to stay hidden,
Campaign donations we thought were forbidden
That won't be caught in some ethical sting –
Hail to the Chief who's convinced he's the King.

Roll calls for close calls that go on forever,
Trolling for votes despite most saying never,
Then using Cheney to pass the darn thing,
Who'll hail those loyal to Bushie, the King.

When The Times bites
And then hamstrings
Reports of how bad
Bush and his Congress mess up ev'rything,
Who wouldn't get God damn mad?
