Parody Song Title:
"Lieberman in 2004"

The Lyrics
Joe Lieberman's advisors position him for a run at the White House in 2004.
Who'd have thought
Could it be
We'll have a Jewish presidency,
Starting here
Starting now
Baby everything's coming up Moses.
Joe is wise,
And he's deft,
So what if he reads right to left
Without Gore
In oh-four
Baby everything's coming up Moses.
There's an aura,
We'll be re-energized,
Votes will pour-a
We'll all be dancing the hora.
What an exciting time,
At state dinners we'll all say l'chaim,
They'll have beef, but no pork
At the end of their fork,
And we can all take Saturdays off, too,
Baby everything's coming up Moses.
For me and for you!

LOL
"Everything's coming up Moses" is such a tremendous pun that it deserves to be the title of the song. I thought I was the first one to come up with that line, but Googled it a while back and discovered your lyrics: http://members.tripod.com/~jewishjokes/everythings-comingup-roses-liebermansong.htm There is/was no attribution, so I'm glad you've since come forward as the culprit. I see that you've revised it to make it about Lieberman 2004 rather than Gore/Lieberman 2000. Nicely done. Your stuff is top-notch - but since you're a professional, you probably don't need us wannabes pointing that out.
I gave this one a perfect score -- like Spaff said, the title alone is worth it -- but two points to consider: One, reading is the only thing Lieberman does "to the left," and two, if you think anybody in Washington, D.C. goes totally without "pork," you're woefully mistaken! Yeah, I knew what you meant, but do you really think a President Lieberman would sign a bill for a power plant in Trent Lott's Mississippi without getting a new bridge in Connecticut attached?
