Johnny Comes Up Short Little Johnny McCain pleads with Obama for a Town Hall debate format singing as the emcee in Kander & Ebb's "Cabaret" (What good is sitting alone in your room?) Look like I'm sitting while you spin the room So I get blown away? I'm half as tall as you, young chum, Plus you have more to say. I disappear when behind a lectern Except for my toupee. I'd need a stool to stand on, chum. So that I'm on display. With a sight-line They'll understand: No crusading, just sedating. You, they'll find intimidating. No more bullshitting if you'll let me smirk At my own repartee. I'll laugh at short, but not at dumb. Dumb's harder to downplay.
