My Qualifications
Being sung by John McCain
to Duke Ellington's "Solitude"
(In my Solitude you haunt me)

In my prison cell I pondered,
Isn't DC the place to lie?
In my prison cell my mind wandered,
If McCarthy could, why shouldn't I?

Spend a year on a tear –
Marry some millionaire –
Be the hero who survived 'cause he lied.
Most voters won't care
That I'm full of hot air.
To them senile means well qualified.

Should a jail bird's life be squandered?
Can't a resident be president?
