Give Jack More Bang For His Buck, Boys
To be sung to the tune from "Gypsy"
"Everything's Coming Up Roses"

We were a team,
Who schemed for you, Jack!
What we did for you, Jack!
We always came through!
But Jack…

Selling out. Money talks.
Abramoff offered Fort Knox,
Free and clear. Holy cow!
"Give Jack more bang for his buck, boys."

Took his checks. Faced the facts.
Made him exempt from the tax.
Who could miss? Just kowtow.
"Give Jack more bang for his buck, boys."

Call that sinning?
Bushie said we're in the clear.
He's stopped grinning?
Jack squealed, so now we're sinning?

Jig is up. Dim the lights.
Pray it's not us he indicts.
What the hell! It was great!
In our cells, six to eight
Years until our pardons should come through.
Jack got more bang for his buck than
   either me or you.
