But I do know that I love Iraq
Don’t care if our¬†troops ever get back
What a Blunderful World this would be

Don’t know much about geography
“Bomb Iran” is¬†a Beach Boys’ melody
On Katrina,¬†I’m a first-class¬†fake
Me and Bush were busy eating cake

But I do know that one and one is three
That’s electoral math that works for me
What a Blunderful World this would be

Now I still claim, to be a straight talker,
Media gives me a pass
So instead of being a real live maverick
I’m just a¬†big ‘ole horse’s ass
