Lying
To be sung with Frank Sinatra to Cole Porter's
"Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love"
(Birds do it, bees do it)

To raise your taxes my Pop did it,
Ashcroft covering her top did it.
Let's face it.
They lied a lot.

My CIA on the fritz did it,
Idiots like Wolfowitz did it.
Let's face it.
They lied a lot.

The Chiefs of Staff for a laff did it,
Claiming they had enough.
Then Gen'ral Myers retires
Saying they play too rough.

Some thought that Rummy's "Aw shucks" did it.
All his dummys passing bucks did it.
Let's face it.
They lied a lot.

Dick Cheney bets Viet vets did it,
Though how in hell would he know?
Fellows as yellow as he is
Found a way not to go.

At last you're asking if I'd do it –
Wouldn't you to save your hide do it?
Let's face it.
I've lied a lot.
