Alan - This is the parody I did of "Leaving On A Jet Plane". It was written in the late 90's.

Leaving, Off to Congress (Kiss Me, Sweet Hilary)

Oh, my bags are packed, I'm ready to leave
I've got no more tricks up my sleeve
Though I suppose I still could start a war...
With some small country like Iraq
Then maybe folks would take me back
But it's too late, my hand is on the door
So kiss me, Sweet Hilary
Tell me that you'll wait for me
We can still make magic, don't you know?
I'm leaving, off to Congress
God only knows what happens next
Oh, babe, I hate to go...

There's so many times I've fooled around
I never thought that I'd be found
What good is power, if you can't have some fun?
And I never meant to cause you pain
Still, Hilary, I'll take the blame
The hounds are at my heels, what's done is done
So kiss me, Sweet Hilary
Tell me that you'll wait for me
We can still make magic, don't you know?
I'm leaving, off to Congress
God only knows what happens next
Oh, babe, I hate to go...

I told a fib...Okay, I lied...
But I'm really just a normal guy
Temptation's just a bit too much for me
It could happen to the best of them
If Monica undressed for them
You see it every day on your TV
So kiss me, Sweet Hilary
Tell me that you'll wait for me
We can still make magic, don't you know?
I'm leaving, off to Congress
God only knows what happens next
Oh, babe, I hate to go...

Cos they're talking of impeachment now
They mean to kill the sacred cow
Republicans are dancing on my grave!
And if the worst should come to pass
Will Arkansas still take me back?
Oh, Hilary, I'd gladly be your slave!
So kiss me, Sweet Hilary
Tell me that you'll wait for me
We can still make magic, don't you know?
I'm leaving, off to Congress
God only knows what happens next
(Leaving, off to Congress
God only knows what happens next)
Oh, babe, I hate to go...

Lyrics by Little Hawk, written back in the Clinton era, all rights reserved. Sing with great emotion and pathos! As it turned out, Bill did not have to resort to a full-scale war in Iraq and still managed to avoid outright impeachment. What a guy! :-) Obviously, I have some degree of prophetic ability when it comes to American foreign policy.
