Johnny's Beach Bum Promises Little Johnny McCain now promotes off-shore drilling while singing "If I Only Had A Brain" from the Wizard of Oz (I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers if I only had a brain.) I'll ignore what Al Gore teaches And will foul your lovely beaches If you'll vote for John McCain. Exxon says that off-shore drilling Will be found far more fullfilling By me, When I've given them free reign. Nor should it take more than a decade To learn what progress they've made At reducing gas price pain. Though your shoreline's not as pleasant With each Exxon Valdez present Courtesy of John McCain, I'll never force your Chevy To be less than hot and heavy With a foreign power train That uses a computer To use less gas than a scooter Unlike an aeroplane. I'm too short for a Green Giant But I'm Coal P.R. compliant At ignoring acid rain. Meanwhile I'll solve the puzzler, Of where's your best buy in a guzzler – At "Happy Used Hum-Vee McCain". So remember how your beaches Were full of gritty sand and leeches, And not just the whooping crane, Not just the whooping crane.
