Laura's Big Help *
Sung to the tune "Gee, Officer Krupke"

Gee, Officer Bushke! You got to understand
That ours is not the tushke that needs your helping hand.
Our president's a liar –
His tushke's catching fire –
But it's awful nice of you to suddenly inquire.

Gee, Officer Bushke, you heard we're upset
About the hosin' that we're hearin' we are gonna get.
Not by local coppers –
We been there before.
What's gonna happen to us punks in twenty-forty-four?

Gee, Officer Bushke, suppose he's in charge
Of companies whose stocks we're into, buyin' large –
He ain't done so good at
Anything he's done before,
Excep' to pick an officer whose tushke we adore.
