The Lyrics
A Monkees song for the guy known to some of us as "the Smirking Chimp." "The Condi Rice alarm" is the national security memo he didn't read in August 2001. How'd that work out?
"What lie is this, boys?"
(7-A!)
"OK, don't yell at me, man,
just because I come up short, y'know!"
(instrumental opening)
Oh, he could hide beneath the wings
of the boo-bird as she zings.
The Condi Rice alarm would never ring.
But she rings, and he'll rise
and come up with lots more lies.
He's straight-no-chaser cold, and he stings.
Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
Oh, Dick Cheney's mean
with a
Daydream Deceiver
who might
get away clean!
You once thought of him as a white knight who's not dim.
Now you're so unhappy and you're grim.
Whoa, and a big crime starts and then
you've not dollar one to spend.
And with Bush Baby, we still live in need.
Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
Oh, Dick Cheney's mean
with a
Daydream Deceiver
who might
get away clea-ea-ea-ean!
(instrumental break)
Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
Oh, Dick Cheney's mean
with a
Daydream Deceiver
who might
get away clea-ea-ea-ean!
Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
Oh, Dick Cheney's mean
with a
Daydream Deceiver
who might
get away clea-ea-ea-ean!
Cheer up, sleepy Jean.
Oh, Dick Cheney's mean
with a
Daydream Deceiver
who might
get away clea-ea-ea-ean!
(repeat 'til fade)
