From my favorite Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Carousel" Soliloquy (otherwise known as My Boy Bill).
This is a long one! Hope you make it to the end. :-)
I wonder when he'll get a clue?
I guess we'll call him the 'old man'
We can compare Maverick
To the other feller's blather
'Yes, we can.'
I bet that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' image of a Lib
But he's got more common sense
Than his puddin'-head opponent ever did!
Can we teach him to wrestle
Our borders to save
When he's off to the White House as our chief?
We all wish he'd take on
A way to be brave
But he's always a missin' our relief!
That's him! That's McCain! No Drills!
Drill.....
If we'd drill
Our fair nation will see a new day, we will!
Why not drill? And with all
We can still save a tree! Just drill!
If we just drill now
With our head held high
And we capture that oil from the ground
You won't see nobody dare to try
To boss us or toss us around!
No Saudi Arabian bullies
Will toss us around!
I don't give a hang what he's done
As long as he'll do what is right!
He sat on his tail
In a prisoner's jail
While Barry wasn't even in sight!
If he'll just change his tune on the border
Stop being a partisan hack
Stop crossing the aisle
Making Liberals Smile
Take the knife from Conservatives' back!
Our great nation dug the Erie Canal
Put a man named Armstrong on the moon!
A President asked, the Berlin Wall crashed
Of course it takes talent to sing that tune!
Aha-ha-ha-ha!
He could be the champ of Conservatives!
What's a feller like me to do?
For the President of the United States
I'd like a man who's true!
But he won't be President if he doesn't get a clue!
Just Drill!!!!
If we'd drill
Our fair nation will see a new day, we will!
If we just drill now
With our heads held high
And we capture that oil from the ground
You won't see nobody dare to try
To boss us or toss us around
No Saudi Arabian, Terrorist state-ian, OPEC co-nation, Bullies!
Will toss us around!
And I'm hanged if I'll vote for the B. Obama
A Dumbo-eared liberal that oozes drama
Who'll hang with OPEC
And pull out our troops
And turn our allies to rejection....
Hey! What are we? American dupes?
We ain't even had the election!!
So what if John McCain is seventy or so?
Isn't that the new Fifty-five?
He's had more experience, has more to show
Than before Obama was alive!
I can tell you....
Wait a minute...
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he refuses to drill?
What could we do then?
What will we do for fuel?
No Fun! No Money!
We could have fun with the sun
But you've got to take it farther now and drill!
It mightn't be so bad to do
A little respite from despair
We could be cool with more fuel
While we worked on other measures
What a pair!!!
Drilling for oil
Not so bad, nor will we despoil the land!
Drilling for oil
Is just the sweetest gift
While we improve our plan
Why should we take a back seat?
While other nations thrive?
Do what they can to get heat!
We, too, must survive!
We have a few
Green and Clean young people, no earth to spoil
But drilling for oil
Will never cause the blight of living with no oil!
We've got to get ready before 'Want' comes
We've got to make certain that he
Won't be swayed by the thought
That our oil is naught, by Greens!
We've got a great nation
We must survive
Lest our way of life not thrive!
We surely know how to make money!
So let's try, let's try! Let's Try!
Don't let China kill it! We will it!
Let's Drill it!!!!! Or DIE!
