Thread Name: Lyr Add: Thanks For the Mammaries
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Thanks For the Mammaries
When I first saw the title, I groaned and thought it was going to be awful. Actually, it is a very good lyric and I agree with every word. How people can purport to be shocked by a breast but left unmoved by bombings, has always baffled me. There is a time and a place to be a little crass, so this is spot on. Thanks for posting. In the attitude and approach of the lyric, it reminded me of something, which I knocked off in the middle of another one of those silly media storms a few years back. A sort of a bluegrass version would have appeared on my first album. However, by the time we recorded it, we had to drop it as it was no longer topical...
Bonking Bill's Lament
Has Billy been a bonking? The right wing press is honking That's what they all are lining up to say They say the old draft dodger was busy with his todger When Hilary was out at work one day And everyone who thinks he was bonking Miss Lewinsky Is lining up to have the man impeached They're going to vent their fury and summon a Grand Jury To see if his career can be beached
Forget about the fissile warhead on that Scud missile Forget about infant mortality Forget about inflation – What really grabs the nation Is the issue of Big Bill's "morality" So if they can find lipstick on the presidential dipstick They'll throw his reputation in his face A forty million budget should be enough to smudge it And hound him out of office in disgrace
So now the burning issue's examining the tissue Of what should constitute a president They like 'em old and grey – not female, black or gay And preferably sexually incontinent For everyone who picks on dear Richard Millhouse Nixon How many more would kick Bill Clinton out? If PR men and Max Factor can get in a cracked ex actor Have they really nothing else to bitch about?
