The Lyrics

President Obama has chosen Senator John Kerry to be Secretary of State. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick plans to call a special election to fill the vacancy and is considering appointing an intermin to hold the seat. So far, so good. Guess who is loudly demanding the temporary appointment? Barney Frank! This is less like news and more like a television series episode...The Twilight Zone to be exact.


John Kerry's tapped for head of State.
The pols up in Boston all salivate.
Each one barks like a carney. They all want John's senate chair.
Just watch the race to fill this space.
Good Heavens! We see a familiar face.
It's good old Bay State Barney - demanding they put him there.

He's just retired from Congress - huge pension, lots of perks,
But what's D.C. without Bar-ney - his petulance and smirks?

Chris Dodd's now gone to Hollywood.
His first act as senator? Barney would
Rename his legislation which shackles ev'ry bank.
We'll hear throughout the nation - his law will now be "Frank - Frank"!


He's coming back to grind each ax,
To nail his opponents with crushing tax,
But not all of his buddies - his people will be exempt.
He'll fill the air with rancor mean.
His rhetoric's sure to be quite obscene.
"Eat sh*t, you fuddy-duddies!". On them he will heap contempt.

He says he won't be running - for the full term, although
If that is true, then I'll sell you - a beach in Idaho!

Once more we'll hear his snarling voice.
Obama and all his mugs will rejoice.
Left wingers all are trusting - he'll make D.C. complete,
For Barney's long been lusting - to get in John Kerry's "seat".






WOW! A zinger for a stinger. ;D

I'm sure Barney Frank will have a "mandate" to accept the job. Like that last line about Kerry's "seat". Christmas in Killarney is one of my favorite Bing Crosby tunes. Not many have used it here. Like the reference to beach front property in Idaho.
