Me and Dick Cheney
Share a love of all things great
Babe Ruth, the Magna Carta
Separation of church and state
Though he leans a little more to the divine rights of kings
And I lean a little more to orgies in the hot springs
You’d be surprised how much we really share

Me and Dick Cheney
We get together each week for a cup of Joe
I like mine with half and half
He likes oil and sweet and low
We talk about artists and writers
David Hockney, Oscar Wilde
He calls them fags and says I really liked Norman Rockwell as a child
And he says how do you have…so much hair

Yeah my coffee with Dick
It’s the one thing I know
Will happen each week
Be the same no matter what
Girls come and go
The river might flow
Sky’s blue or gray
Birds fly away
I forget names of things
The telephone rings
Like some weird magic trick
But there’s always coffee with Dick

Me and Dick Cheney
We don’t dwell on our disputes
I hang out with poets
He hangs out with corporate suits
But we both like our eggs lightly poached
With a little hollandaise sauce
And though he thinks Hitler’s one mistake was ignoring the Russian frost
Go ahead criticize, but you ain’t there…

For my coffee with Dick
It’s the one thing I know
Will happen each week
Be the same no matter what
Girls come and go
The river might flow
Sky’s blue or gray
Birds fly away
I forget names of things
The telephone rings
Like some weird magic trick
But there’s always….Coffee with Dick
