BANG BANG


With apologies to Nancy Sinatra -- and Cher:

Both members of the good ol' boys,
And each armed with our shootin' toys,
We took the dogs along to hunt
And then I got the ace affront.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, Dick Cheney shot me down.

Now this is how it all occurred --
Since I was first to bag my bird
I went aside to seek it out
And when I did, I came about.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, that idjut shot me down.

I could hear him cursing then,
"Just how is this one going to spin?"

Now somehow it's become my fault:
It's adding insult to assault.
But I'll say nothing to dissent
For I am not Vice President.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, that stupid clown
Bang bang, I'm now renowned
Bang bang, Dick Cheney shot me down...
