Verse Hey! Remember when you heard this rumor 'bout Obsession with a whale, A very oil-rich whale? It seems this die-hard's mission Was all about strongarming, Uh, I mean disarming, His own whale – A whale who was enormous, elusive, obstreperous and strong, Whose agony Bush would help prolong. Refrain Hey! Daddy! This time I didn't smirk, Or act the jerk. So, Daddy, Why won't my scared face work for me? Hey! Daddy! Iraqis hate my shtick And make like Moby Dick. So, Daddy, Was Ahab distant family? For now in utter desperation I'll try a final esculation Despite considerable consternation And advocates of abdication. Hey! Daddy! Dick said harpoon the whale, But nothing 'bout the tale. Daddy, Why doesn't Mommy read to me?
