Springtime for Dubya

[M. Beaux-Eaux]

A rewrite of the libretto from Mel Brooks' classic comedy film "The Producers"

***

CHORUS:
America was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
LEAD TENOR PENTAGON OFFICIAL:
And now it's...
Springtime for Dubya and America
The USA is happy and gay!
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
Springtime for Dubya and America
Homeland's a safe land once more!
Springtime for Dubya and America
Watch out, Europe
We're going on tour!
Springtime for Dubya and America...
CHORUS:
Look, it's springtime
LEAD TENOR PENTAGON OFFICIAL:

CHORUS:
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!

President in the land!

THE HAIL-Os:
The President is causing a furor!
He's got those Russians on the run
You gotta love that wacky Hun!
The President is causing a furor
They can't say "no" to his demands
They're freaking out in foreign lands
He's got the whole world in his hands
The President is causing a furor!
DUBYA:
I was just a Governor
No one obscurer
Got a message from up above
Told me I was President
America was blue
What, oh, what to do?
Beefed up our attack
And invaded Iraq
Now America's smiling through!
But it wasn't always so easy...
It was 2001. Bill was working the Big Room and I...
I was playing the oil fields. And then I got my big break.
And, would you believe it?
They made me President. President!
It ain't no myst'ry
If it's politics or hist'ry
The thing you gotta know is
Ev'rything is show biz
All hail myself
Watch my show
I'm the American Survivor
Dontcha know
We are crossing borders
The new world order is here
Make a great big smile
Ev'ryone sing "All hail to me"
Wonderful me!
And now it's...
CHORUS:
Springtime for Dubya and America
Two-step's the new step today
DUBYA:
Springtime!
Two-step!
CHORUS MEN:
Smart bombs falling from the skies again
CHORUS:
The USA is on the rise again
DUBYA & CHORUS:
Springtime for Dubya and America
Carriers are sailing once more
Springtime for Dubya and America
DUBYA:
Means that...
CHORUS:
Soon we'll be going...
DUBYA:
We've got to be going...
CHORUS:
You know we'll be going....
DUBYA:
You bet we'll be going...
DUBYA & CHORUS:
You know we'll be going to war!!

Nero and Caligula were leaders by definitions 2 and 4.

Spurious George inspires some, expires others...Iraqis, Afghanis, US Marines, the poor Americans who die of malnutrition, alcoholism, disease, industrial pollution, or just plain neglect.

One of my all-time favourite quotes, read it on some forum or another years ago and it's stuck in my head ever since; a client to a Web site designer: "Please also put a landlord hat on the landlord."
