My Next Of Kin
Sung to the Cole Porter tune
"I've Got You Under My Skin"

He feels like my next of kin.
Karl predicts few bleeding hearts, for he
Says based on his charts
He's sure that John Roberts could be
Almost like my next of kin.

He's promised not to cave in,
Though I'm hoping
This nomination will go so well
With The Congress under Rove's spell
That I won't need to butt in.

I'd sacrifice Karl to win the fight
For what's left of my legacy
As the warrior king who fights for the right
But remembers two thousand and fears
A disaster if Roberts can't win.

The illegality
Of my rascality,
And the time I could do
If Kark Rove blew
The choice of my next of kin,
Means I need my own court
To help with the jams I get in.
