In A State Of Remorse
To be sung to the hymn
"The Old Rugged Cross"

In a state of remorse sat a Mafia boss,
Beset by both failure and shame.
He did not cart the hoss,
Though he did try his best
And the second in charge had been slain.

Yet most cherish that Mafia boss,
And honors for him will abound.
Though he didn't get Bush,
He did get his boss
Who is permanently underground.

Oh, that Mafia boss, so despised by the right,
Is a Liberal celebrity,
For without his cross boss
They're convinced that young Bush
Is becoming a nonentity.

So they cherish that Mafia boss,
And honors for him will abound.
Though he didn't get Bush,
He did get his boss
Who is permanently underground.

To that Mafia boss the world owes a debt
But rather grudgingly bemoans
That it took so long,
That they lost their side bet
While praying he someday atones.

Still they cherish that Mafia boss,
And honors for him will abound.
Though he didn't get Bush,
He did get his boss
Who is permanently underground.
