Cliven

• Parody of "Levon" by Elton John
• Parody idea by Doug Senko in comments on Google+

Cliven's wounded pride is like a crown He wears it for the media Because he likes to blame Other people for bringing him down. Cliven, Cliven likes his cattle. He has a lot, they say. They spend their days grazin'... On protected land 'cross the motorway. He was born supported by a farm That depended on Bargain grazing rights On land maintained by Uncle Sam Cliven's gonna demand his slice today... And his name is Cliven And he's really a good man And his name is Cliven Ignore his anti-federal plans. And his name is Cliven And he's really a good man Cliven shall leech on! Cliven sells cartoon morality He's got a lot of buyers Cliven invents history all day Stands on a stage attended by his squires And Cliven, he only wants what's his -- Believes that's everything in sight. Pick up a gun and defend it Because who ever has the guns has the right.

And his name is Cliven And he's really a good guy And his name is Cliven Wants his share of the American pie And his name is Cliven And he's really a good guy Cliven shall leech on! And his name is Cliven And he's really a good man And his name is Cliven Never mind all his racist rants (whoo!) And his name is Cliven And he's really a good man Cliven shall leech on!

Notes

If I ever get a chance to re-record the lyrics, I will change "Ignore his anti-federal plans" to "just ignore his secession plan".
