This Old House


This Old House (Original hit by Rosemary Clooney)

THIS OLD HOUSE

A Paddy Whack


This old House once stood for Freedom
This old House once stood for Life
This old House was once a Beacon
On a Hill once filled with Light
This old House once rang with Honor
This Old House heard many shouts
Now it hurls us into darkness
While Pelosi walks about

CHORUS:
Ain’t a gonna need this House No Longer
Ain’t a gonna need this House No More
Ain’t it time to fix the scandals?
Ain’t it Time to Mop the Floor?
Ain’t it Time to dump Pelosi
And some Sanity re-gain?
Ain’t a gonna need this House no longer
We’re gettin’ ready to end the pain


This Old House is a-gettin’ shaky
This Old House ain’t in control
This Old House spends all our money
This Old House has lost its soul
They say readin’ bills is silly
Just you wait: you’ll feel no pain
And they saddle We the People
With a debt we can’t sustain
CHORUS

This Old House is afraid of red-necks
This Old House is afraid of guns
And Pelosi cries and trembles
When the People say we’re done
This Old House supports Obama
This Old House is on the stomp
Just like him for Socialism
But we’re ready to drain the swamp
CHORUS

This Old House thinks we are sleepin’
They don’t know they’re out the door
Else they’d stop their crazy bail-outs
When the people say no more!
But their evil ways are over
We’ll repeal Obamacare
And elect some better people
Whose philosophy we share!
CHORUS

And I Guess That's Why They Call it the News

Original song: Elton John, Davey Johnstone
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

I Guess That’s Why they Call it the Blues

I Guess That’s Why they Call it the News

A Paddy Whack


They Dish it Today
They look at it like they are so clever
Between you and me they Can’t honestly say
Left Wings will rule us forever

Just smile for today
Just put those demons aside
And it won’t be long before liberty runs
To that place in our hearts where it abides

And I guess that’s why they call it the news
Time we demand we hear truth from those boobs
Drafting our Children, Living off Others
Trashing reporters that go under cover!
And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

Just spare us some grace
Picture our fate in your hands
Cling to the Second without hesitation
And never forget our great Land

Our U.S.A.
Dies in the night without help
Now more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that’s why they call it the news
Time we demand we hear truth from those boobs
Drafting our Children, Living off Others
Trashing reporters that go under cover!
And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

[harmonica interlude]

Our U.S.A.
Dies in the night without help
Now more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that’s why they call it the news
Time we demand we hear truth from those boobs
Drafting our Children, Living off Others
Trashing reporters that go under cover!
And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

And I guess that’s why they call it the news.

There are no Strings on Me

From Pinocchio Harline/Washington
A reprint from my book. Page 299-300

OBAMA:
I've got no strings
That make me dance
They feed me Lines, Give me a Chance
IF I had strings
They'd bury me
You'll see no strings on me

Hi Ho I'm Barry O.
I'm a puppet don't you see?
I want the world to know
Naught should ever worry thee
You'll see no strings
To make you frown
To tip my hand, with-hold my crown
I have wings
And you will see
Those angel wings on me!

DUTCH PUPPET:
I see no strings
To worry me
We love you by the Zuider Zee
Ya Ya Ya
the Germans too
We're in the tank for you.

FRENCH PUPPET:
I see no strings
Qui parle pour vous?
Les Francais voient votre jeu
Je vois des cordes
Juste entre nous
Qui D'autre parle pour vous?

TERRORIST PUPPET:
We in Al Qaeda know
How to make war ebb and flow
We'd like the world to know
Barry should win place and show!
(Chorus)
