Nuns/Sheiks Sing The Sound of Money: "How do you solve a problem like the oil sheiks?"
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 02:06 PM by CorpGovActivist
She sheikhs us down, says come around
Her polls have got a tear
She waltzes right on by the truth
And gives that eerie stare
And underneath her campaign
You'll find Mark Penn lurking there

I even heard her singing like a tabby!

She's always late conceding
But her penitence is real
She's always late with any truth
Except when someone squeals
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
She's simply not an asset to the party!

I'd like to say a word on her behalf
Her bug eyes make me laugh. (titter)

How do you solve a problem like the oil sheiks?
How do you catch the docs and pin them down?
How do you find a word excusing oil sheiks?
A dropinthebucket! A will-o'-the-bribe! Letdown?

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay?
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep that knave out of her band?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like the oil sheiks?
How do you hold a big check in your hand?

(The Hillary Acolytes join in)

When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly what "is" is
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a *&^%$!

She'd outupchuck any meme
Drive a true Dem from her team
She could throw a fine progressive out of step
She is gentle! She is wild!
She's a puppet! She's Penn's child.
She's a headache! She's a Head-On!
She's a pol!

How do you solve a problem like the oil sheiks?
How do you catch the docs and pin them down?
How do you find a word excusing oil sheiks?
A dropinthebucket! A will-o'-the-bribe! Letdown?

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay?
And listen to all you say?
How do you keep that knave out of her tank?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like us oil sheiks?
Where do you cash our big checks, oh, which Bank?

... on taking the familiar, and skewing it a little.
