The Lyrics

I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
Just the Oval Office,
and just a few times with an intern novice
Well she had alot to give so live and let live
And let go oh oh oh
I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden

I never promised her things like wedding rings
And I never really told her that I loved her
Now the whole thing's over
But some sweet talkin helped my dreams come true
And I gave her a load of b.s. on a silver platter
Just dumb empty chatter
I had fun for awhile and I was jolly,
Lust shouldn't be so melancholy
I just had some good times with her, man

I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
I didn't want sunshine
Beaming hotly down on my fair behind
I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden

Well she sang me a tune and I showed her my moon
She said, "If that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go"
But this much you ought to know--
You'd better look before you leap cause this'll get you in deep
But you can say we never had relations
and that will pull you out
You know what I'm taking about?
So be with me a while and let's be jolly
Lust shouldn't be so melancholy
Come, let's have some good times while we can"

I beg your pardon, I never did it in the Rose Garden
Just the Oval Office, and just a few times with an intern novice...

Give 'im hell Royce. HaHa. Still funny after all this time. And remember he tried it but he didn't exhale.

When a man is the President, he's got to take it like a man...... um, I'm not exactly sure what that means..... but apparently a certain former President wasn't exactly sure either...... 5's

Hopefully Kerry will provide some good material, too. Looks like the Drudge jumped the gun on that though.

My favorite line...I didn't want sunshine, beaming hotly down on my fair behind. 555 roses from me.

Really great job, Royce. Hey, but one thing you must admit about Mr. Bill - you really could be sure about where he stood most of the time: Right in front of and above an intern...

Monica sure did put a thorn in his behind, tho'! Excellent parody Royce.

Why would Bill beg a pardon? It's not like he committed any crimes. And he never used Oklahoma City in his campaign ads the way that shameless Bush uses 9/11 in his. Of course, some people would rather talk about Slick's Willie than Bush's unjustified cockiness. Mac: Of course Drudge jumps the gun. Oops, did I make an anti-gay comment there? Looks like I owe Guy $2.95 on royalties. He can find his check in the same place as the WMDs.

I didn't like it. I don't like paroides discrediting our most recent ex-president, so I voted 5-3-3.
