Todd Rundgren - Lili's Address lyrics

Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side With heaven's plan for the motherland "All right, all right ladies, Settle down now, settle down" Now, the usual formalities Everyone, hold all your questions please You'll all have your opportunities to Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese But upon this juncture I must state How immensely you appreciate The illusion of grandeur I create When every trait I overrate And every word gesticulate In praise of the motherland Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side With heaven's plan for the motherland "Quiet please, quiet, I'm still speaking" Irregardless of to what we pledge The electorate gives me the edge And the boost to my ego that can't be measured Ruling you is such a pleasure Speaking of good taste in dames I submit to you my list of names Maybe some of them come up short on brains But good at diplomatic games And sycophantic without shame I give you the cabinet The privilege is strictly ours To have you watch while we devour The crumbs of presidential power That we can grub from Lilly She's got the wardrobe we adore Her teeth are perfect, what is more She knows what having friends is for We're silly over Lilly, Silly over Lilly 'Til we're ill, we'll sing it shrilly Lilly is the nation's pride And we love her like a mother "You like me, you like me" You don't know what this means to me To be the one you run to see when You need a mother "All right, I feel good I'm a [partridge?] I'm ready to take you all on First question please" Tell us the end, tell us the end Can you confirm the rumours goin' 'round? For the record, one time being Terms of truth are being spread around "All right, all right, settle down buddy Are you ready to get an answer to your questions: Yes, yes, no, maybe, no, Maybe, not a wink, I wasn't there, I don't recall, the dog ate it. Now I certainly hope that clears up the air And we can get on with important business now" Tell us prime minister Tell us prime minister For the record One time, prime minister Sources state That the Archbishop's hiding some Thing of interest Something of interest Sources state Maybe you're just a puppet of Special interest Some special interest Special interest Some special interest We would like to know your posture please On the hard line's platform policies Like providing free to all the nation Mandatory ma** castration For the sake of common decency The Judeo-Christian society Wants to guarantee a pregnancy To anyone past twenty-three Tell us prime minister Tell us prime minister We've fresh ugly rumors going 'round For the sake of party unity I've some photographs you'd like to see Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side With heaven's plan for the motherland All right ladies, settle down now
