White House Keys
I used to hear this song on the Philadelphia area radio in the early 90's. It came back into my mind this morning. It was originally written about Ronald Reagan, but it's even funnier today.
White House Keys, by Don Henry
She loaded up his hair dye
And their little dog too
They were wavin' goodbye
As the whirlybird blew
Me and Fast Eddie
Were ready when we heard the sound
The former head honcho
Never heard 'em hit the ground... and...
(chorus)
The White House keys fell out of his pocket
We thought that we'd unlock it this Saturday night
Get a bunch of homeless in the Oval Office
And raid the refrigerator 'til the morning light
They'll wonder how we got these
They thought he turned 'em in
But he made a couple copies
In case they re-elected him
Me and Fast Eddie are ready if they hit us hard
We'll just flash our voter registration cards and say...
(chorus)
The White House keys fell out of his pocket
We thought that we'd unlock it this Saturday night
Get a bunch of homeless in the Oval Office
And raid the refrigerator 'til the morning light
We showed them keys
To every Tom, Dick, and Harry
It bought us all the drinks, all the drugs,
All the women we could carry
But early in the mornin'
I noticed that the red key was missin'
Yeah the fate of the world
Is probably hangin' from the neck of a beautician
We went down to the Goodwill
And bought some jackets and ties
Got a shower for a good deal
At the neighborhood "Y"
Me and Fast Eddie are ready for the photograph
Sunday morning the Washington Post will ask us why... cuz...
(chorus)
The White House keys fell out of his pocket
We thought that we'd unlock it this Saturday night
Get a bunch of homeless in the Oval Office
And raid the refrigerator 'til the morning light

It just feels good to hear that song again.
I also found one on the album that reminds me of Cardinal Michale from GalRen. *grin*
