DUBYA
(Words, Joseph Hayes. Music, "El Paso" by Marty Robbins)

Out from the West came a boy named Dubya
Carrying a name that his daddy did love

Dubya left Texas 'cause D. C. was callin'
'Callin 'cause he had to settle a score

Had to go there 'cause Billy beat his daddy
And left in place a weirdo by the name of Al Gore

All through the primaries he practiced his speeches
Chaney and Baker hand-signaled by the door

Soon the election was over but the results were disputed
Weird Al was yelling everywhere I did not lose

Dubya plodded on with the help of his brother
Even learned what the Supreme Court was for

Even 'tho he won reporters asked about Harken
Chaney hand signalled when they asked about Enron

9/1/1 made Dubya ever so popular
But soon a recession started nipping at his heels

Out of nowhere rode up his poppa
Sayin', son, don't do what I did after I won before

Rattle your sabers and put away the bad one
Chaney and Baker stood nodding at the door

Here we are now but we don't know how it ended
Al Gore has a beard and won't quit 'til he settles the score

Both love their mates but Gore smooches longer
Night is fallin' and Dubya is layin' one on her

Up rides his daddy and says that's not how you kiss 'em
Barbara is waiting for a kiss knowing it now will come
