The Lyrics

I wrote this a while ago, when there was talk of Alberto Gonzalez being a possible nominee. But it looks like Bush will name some other dwarf tonight, so I'm submitting this now, before I hear the name.
I'm getting to appoint
Scary judges you abhor. . .
To the Court-y.
Sometimes they rule so badly
That it makes me proud.
They're my cronies.

It's not Bork, but Bork-like--
Not a legal star.
Congress makes it hard

They're members of the bar, each one,
Yet Congress wants to smother
Them--show no mercy.
Give them a pass, don't mindlessly filibuster now
Stop all that scheming.

I am theirs, they are mine--
How'd they pass the bar?
It must have been hard.

Tearing, the left, as they hear my vow
That appointees will be right wing
This indeed means that I snub you,
You're screwed; my endeavor: pack the Court's hallways.

I am theirs, they are mine.
You say they're too far
To the right of Khan.

I try to hide my relishment;
Attempt to be discrete, pretend I'm listening
To them; they talk; their reservations they impart,
Then I snub them.

I am theirs, they are mine.
That makes them my pards. . .
Blessed by Rove and Card.

Sandy's leaving. She will be outa there soon.
That's one swing vote you lose.
Billy's ailing. He'll be gone, he's tired and stooped
Fat Tony won't recuse.
I can tell you're getting pissed
And that you're sufferin'.
You'll act like a baby,
And you'll start cryin'
Then you'll start filibusterin' and sighin'
The confirmation blues.

I'll make my stand, sirs,
So go and cry away.
In the end you will lose.
You can appease me.
Shy from the standoff way--
Let my appointees cruise.

Janice Brown was scary
Her views, very narrow
Clarence Lite gave you fright,
Chilled you to the marrow.

Choice-for-circuit wrangle
Forced you then not to fight
My choices nucularly,
Except in cases narrow.

Lazy lizard lamebrains,
Losers left's lambasting
Way far right, start the fight,
Time is wasting!

Nyah, nyah, nyah. . . !

Que bimbos que yo traigo: culos,
Las reinas, los reyes de malaconsejar
Ciego Alberto, enano, p.e., tarado sangrante.
Y que triste Leahy verde, que no puede vencerme. ¡Vaca!
¡Heh, heh, heh, ha, ha, ha!

[What ahole bimbos I'll bring to the table,
Queens and kings of bad judgment--
Alberto, e.g., blank dwarf, flagrant cretin.
And Vermont cow Pat Leahy's sad, because he can't stop me.]

Nice job. Who ever thought that we'd actually be praising Sandra Day O'Connor?
Johnny D - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Made me laugh out loud for real!

John, you've mastered this monument. A tough song, a biting satire. Let me know if you want to sing it, we can do the three parts.
Paul Robinson - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
This is a fantastic job, JB. Really well constructed to the original and also a biting piece of satire...(hmmm...see that Rick used "biting satire" as well...well, that just shows how astute the Dude is...lol). I've done a couple parodies of this OS and I know just how much time, effort and hard work goes into actually piecing it together coherently in a way that makes it work lyrically and musically and ending up with a funny story-line that has a point. OH...yeah..."This is fun / is well-done / and it can be sung / you have raised the bar" 5's ~ ~ ~
Paul Robinson - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Hey, Rick...think we can lure JB to the Espresso Gardens on August 11th? Maybe we could give this a whirl there (I'm not as a bad a singer as I was back in Jan. '04...at least I don't think so...lol)...Of course, you might have someone else in mind for the 3rd part...hey, I can stand in the back and lip-sync(that's what Mrs. Gebhardt, my 5th grade Music Teacher made me do at the class assembly way back in my tortured past...scarred for life).

I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stoned Bush President on the stage, and the Constitution is in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

Thanks, Alvin, Robert, JD, Michael; Rick and Paul--I'm willing to give it a try, but my singing is marginal at best. How about I take just the "Nyah, nhah'" part?
Paul Robinson - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Sounds great, JB! Final decisions on singing parts will be left up to the Musical Director here, Rick D., of course...Any way that it shakes out it would be great to see you there again.
Johnny D - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Highlander & JB, you guys might have inspired me to take on this musical mountain, too ... hmm ...
Rick C - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
John, this is priceless! As we say in New England, wickid hi fives! Johnny D, any time you feel like singing, I can help with the music.
John Barry - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Thanks, Rick. New England, eh? Whereabouts? I'd guess you're of French Canadian descent. I'm from NH myself.

JB - Of course you know that JD & I are both originally from Connecticut, right? Or, at least you do now ~ ~ ~ It sounds like this parody of yours is going "Bi-Coastal" now...Hey...6 more sites and we can do a "Live 8" rendition of it...Imagine...simultaneous performances of it...MTV, where are ye?...Speaking of "Live-8" and "G-8", Andy Borowitz (a comedy site on the Web) had a piece where the G-8 members announced they were going to stage an "anti-Sting" concert...I guess he said a bunch of nasty things about them when he performed...it was pretty rich...

Paul, I knew JD was, ayup.

BTW...who are crosy, still and nash ?...lol
Paul Robinson - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
alvin, maybe that's "Crosby"...after a diet...?? That's alright...I think I spelled "Nash" as "Nas" on one of my earlier CSN parody posts...

I have the guitar track from when I did "Sweat Sistine Ceiling", any of you guys can have it and take your shot.
Paul Robinson - July 20, 2005 - Report this comment
Rick D - I'd loved to give it a try...I've never tried to sing with a recording of your instrumentals so far...it would be quite interesting to me to see how it comes out. You've got my e-mail address, got ahead and send when you have the time.

I love this parody. It's pretty tough to take on this Original, and you made this one hilarious. Just a great, great job! 555

Or I can just give you a CD wav. recording when I see you soon. Better quality.
Rick C - July 22, 2005 - Report this comment
I'm about 8 miles from Concord, where Johnny D lives. I'm in a town called Woburn, MA. Perhaps you've heard of the book, and movie, "A Civil Action"? It is the true story of how sleazy corporations tainted the water supply in Woburn, giving leukemia to almost 20 kids in about a four block area. Around 15 of them died and the courts did practically nothing about it. I thought you were on the west coast? Where in NH are you from? I've got relatives up there. I really have to set up a visit with Johnny D though. The man is a genius!
Paul Robinson - July 22, 2005 - Report this comment
Rick C - JB's part of the "Westweird Migration"...he's in the Bay Area (around San Francisco to the uninitiated) now...I just answered this because (1) I thought you were asking ME "where in NH I was from" and I was going to correct you...lol...and (2) once I saw it wasn't for me I thought maybe JB might miss your inquiry, so I figured I toss you what I knew...Yeah...it IS slow here at work this morning ~ ~ ~
