We're Old Mac Sycophants Old Mac needs a lot more like this to Irving Berlin's "A Couple Of Swells" (We're a couple of swells; we stop at the best hotels) We're Old Mac sycophants, Who know he has no chance And that he's not the Mac he was When we were still in short pants. We won't admit or show That a younger so and so Has a better grasp of the world at large Than many years in jail bestow. When Senior Moments come more frequently It scares the GOP AARP. He started rather poorly Near the bottom of his class; He wasn't pegged a "hero", But merely "that dumb ass"; He wasn't really shot down, But just ran out of gas; Which surely qualified him as top brass. His problem's been Geography With countrys he can't spell, But History's his forté For he memorizes well: "Lincoln crossed the Delaware—" "Ike fought the Civil War—" "The Shia Anbar Awakening That 'The Surge' came before—" So if instead of plain historian You want Bush phantasmagorian, He's top drawer.
