Rubber Duck Charlie Two squeaks for Yes; one squeak for No I'm Charlie Rangel and I've been here too long. But no way I'm going away on my own. I'm eighty years old and could die tomorrow. I belong in the Senate but I'm not that well known. That recent New Yorker says those guys have it made. And if I changed parties, I'd be working for Mitch. What politician wouldn't welcome the chance To do practically nothing just by making the switch? On that side of the aisle I could be just a body With my cute rubber ducky and one aqueak to vote No. I've recorded my speeches at seven and a half, So at three and three-quarters they'd be GOP slow. Filibuster material as Mitch would acknowledge, They'd want me around till one hundred and five. After that what's the problem? Just squeeze my ducky And swear to the Democrats I'm still alive.
