The Lyrics
I know, it’s getting old to pile on to this maudlin man, but not nearly as old as watching him turn on the crockodile tears ever other day or so. If a female politician slobbered publicly like this, her colleagues would be all over her for being “soft.”
He is all dry for a while;
Vanished smile. . .crocodiles.
And then eyes go from white
To reddish, blurring sight,
Then he’s sopped, the ducts ain’t fallow.
A wishing well
Can’t make such swells
When he starts crying—orange “boo. . .”
Crying—orange “. . .hoo!”
His face first gets long
(The first syllable is “bone”)
It’s Boehner crying,
Crying, crying, crying.
No, not hard is this man,
But soft like a woman
When he starts crying.
This softie will water-rue;
It’s an ocular slough
Or ondes[1] on the seashore.
He blubbers much more
Than Harlequin[2] readers do.
Outpours from Nancy
Would have been chancy.
Crying, orange rue,
Crying, orage[3] dew.
When he turns on
The waterworks in Con-
gress, there’s crying,
Crying, crying, crying.
Yes, crying, crying!
Orange hue.
