Lyr Req: Because I'm slime, I must resign (Delay)

I heard a wonderful parody of I Walk The Line, about Tom Delay, on The Randi Rhodes Show / Air America Radio this week, but I can't find a link to the mp3 of it or the lyrics. I've tried googling the hook line, but that doesn't seem to get me anywhere.

The hook line, is "Because I'm slime, I must resign."
Does anyone have the rest of the lyrics?

I'll look forward to the results of this search.

Me too, Charley.

I guess if nobody finds the one they played on Randi's show, we could make it a Song Challenge! and write our own verses. But since somebody's already written and recorded one with that hook, I really want to find and give credit to that parodist. :D

Listening to a repeat broadcast of one of Randi's shows from this week, and they just played the Tom Delay parody.   I noticed they were playing it too late (multitasking and all) to catch and transcribe the whole thing, but here's part of it:
