First up, '81, Ronald Reagan, lots of fun
Peristroika; Gorbachov; Lorena Bobbit sliced it off
Walter Mondale didn't win, why? There you go again
Top banana in Havana, Castro was in power then
Fawn Hall, stuffed cups; Mayor Berry was set up
George Bush throwing up on the Japanese
Al Hague pulled rank, Mike Dukakis in a tank
Dan Quale, VP, spelled potato with an E
We didn't start satire
But once you see these listed, how could we resist it
Where there's smoke, there's fire
What was just enjoyment became our employment
Pee Wee at a p**no flick, OJ Simpson made us sick
And the glove didn't fit, jury said we must acquit
Clarence Thomas made a joke, something hairy on his Coke
Ross Perot won our hearts, giant ears and homemade charts
Amy Fisher, shooting spree; Tanya Harding whacked a knee
Songs about Bob Dole; Saddam Hussein, spider hole
Clinton made a big mess, who'd have thought she'd keep the dress
William J, blown away, what else do I have to say
We didn't start satire
There's no way of knowing where cigars are going
If that cigar's on fire
Then while it's still burning a new song we're learning
Yeah, Michael Jackson wasn't right, can't tell if he's black or white
Florida screwed up bad, left us all with hanging chads
Dubya, bad reviews, someone threw a pair of shoes
Al Gore lost the race, Cheney shot friends in the face
Olympics had the Dream Team, then the Howard Dean scream
Thurmond turned 100 and mad cows began to rant
John Kerry, purple heart; Uday, Qusay blown apart
Remember Ted Kennedy, I forgot my pants
We didn't start satire
Or the Unibomber or the Octomomer
If someone is a liar
Then it's not much time before their name we're rhyming
Hans Blix, Bill Frist, Mission Not Accomplished
Senator Barack Obama, black guy, white mamma
Rod Blagoyovich was there, he had Justin Bieber hair
Bob Dole, facelift; soul pills make you stiff
Tiger Woods, booty calls; Larry Craig, bathroom stalls
Bernie Madoff, Tom DeLay, and Abramoff all go to jail
John McCain takes a dive, Fidel Castro's still alive
A governor looks for tail, on the Appalachian Trail!
We didn't start the fire
But with each election we got new selections
We would have to retire
If they did their jobs right so we will go on and on
