Pork For Patty Murray & Colleagues
To be sung with Judy Garland to the tune
"The Trolley Song"
(With my high starched collar and my high-topped shoes)

Verse
With a whoop and holler
Patty tries to swaller
More pork to feather her incumbent bed.
She does this even after
Peels of public laughter
Greet the pork recipients she's fed.

But Patty Murray gets her jollies
Immitating Hastert's Follies,
Convinced a feast of pork's within her rights.
How sad that in her haste
She's developed Denny's waist,
Making Fatty Patty quite a sight.

Chorus
"Oink, oink, oink," goes Ms. Murray.
No napkin ring? What the hell.
Internet access on the ferry –
Who knows, perhaps e-mail as well.

"Squeal, squeal, squeal," goes the porker.
"Steal a meal," says the pig.
"Who cares a fig for the budget?
We'll build a bridge to somewhere twice as big."

So, just like that,
We bought repeat,
And got more politicians so obsessed with meat,
That they hate green?
Well hold your breath –
Did Abscam scare Jack Murtha half to death?

"Lap, lap, lap," goes the ocean.
West Virginia's coastline is secure
Now that Robert Byrd plans on renaming
The Coast Guard for himself just to make sure.
