Gilligan's Government

• Parody of "Gilligan's Island", if that wasn't obvious

Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale

of a fateful president

He said he meant just what he said,

and said just what he meant.

His history he'd not discuss,

his past we can't confirm

He moved into the White House for

a four-year term, a four-year term.

(fx: explosions)

The towers came a-crashing down

The Pentagon was tossed

If not for the courage of the neocons

the country would be lost.

They sent us in pursuit of some

uncharted desert oil

While leaving freedom in our wake,

the terrorists we'll foil!

The VP and his skipper too

will do their very best

to keep the rich folks comfortable

and stifle all protest

Tapped phones! - bad science! - no bill of rights,

not a single liberty!

Like a fallen Roman Empire,

It's decadent as can be.

So join us here each week my friend,

You're sure to feel inspired

By Dubya...

Dick Cheney too...

The billionaires...

...and their stocks

The corporate execs

and lobbyists...

...here in George's Empire!
