Now we know
He’s the G-
O-P nominee
‘Cause he beat
Giullian-
I and Rominee
When they wrote his obit
He was too tough to quit
And like the Phoenix, rose again
The Man, the Myth, the McCain!
His demean-
Or is that
Of a maverick
His complex-
Ion is like
A cadaver - Ick!
With the wind in his head
Like a loaf of white bread
He’s always gone against the grain
The Man, the Myth, the McCain!
He can prob-
Ably quote
Deuteronomy
The man!
But he can’t
Understand
The economy
Who can!?
In his prime, in the pink
He knew Moses, I think
The two of them worked out with Jack LaLaine
The Man, the Myth, the McCain!
He says we’ll be
In Iraq
For a century
Till the troops
Are decrep-
It and denture-y
And we’ve won at all cost
Like the fact that we lost
And then, he’ll say we must remain
The Man...
The Man...
The Man
The milit’ry man with the aerial burial plan
For Iran
The guy among guys
Who’s large for his size
The pilot who flies off the han...dle
The Myth
A lot of conservatives won’t want a thing to do with
The wordsmith
On the Straight Talk Express
Talking straight, more or less
Full of vinegar and pith.
That’s “pith.”
He’s got all
The George Bush
Sensibilities
Even though
Bush himself
Makes him ill at ease
Wants our grandkids to pay
For a tax cut today
It’s another Shock and Awe campaign
He keeps his “special interest” on the plane
He will not be afraid of death and bane
The MacBeth?
No, the man, the Myth, the McCain!
His middle name is not Hussein
He’s the G-
O-P nominee
‘Cause he beat
Giullian-
I and Rominee
When they wrote his obit
He was too tough to quit
And like the Phoenix, rose again
The Man, the Myth, the McCain!

Or is that
