Who Needs Congress?
To be sung with Cab Calloway to the tune
"Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea"
(I don't want you, but I'd hate to lose you.)

Who needs Congress?
Or a rebel free press?
You tell them I'll ignore
Any damn fool law I please.

Who needs vetoes
When the public now knows
I've got what I prayed for:
Signing statement legalese.

No longer any arms to twist
If it's not a bill I'm looking for.
Why should they bother to persist
When I don't need them anymore.

Let them chatter
'Cause it doesn't matter
Now that God's given me
The pow'r to do just as I please.
