Bush Cloned Cowboy - Lyrics - Capitol Steps

The Capitol Steps are an American political satire group. The group has been performing since 1981, and has released approximately thirty albums consisting primarily of song parodies. Originally consisting exclusively of congressional staffers performing around Washington, D.C., the troupe now primarily employs professional actors and singers. The Capitol Steps have performed on PBS, public radio and in various small- and medium-sized venues around the United States.

Bush: We’ve been suffering Barack too long Hearing his same old song We waited to see who from the GOP could beat him From Texas there came a new name With Perry’s halo in the ring now it’s a new game His Reagan charm is sure to please us Plus he’s Facebook friends with Jesus He’s the man if you’re just a little nostalgic for me Perry (Bush): Like a Bush cloned cowboy (ooo ooo…) Riding out on a horse, like the host of a rodeo Both: Texas homegrown cowboy Perry: More macho and right wing, but maybe almost twice as slow Bush: He’s like me! Perry: I’m Bush 2.0 Perry: Well, I really do like to campaign Wearing boots, and I talk real plain Bush: But sometimes stay mute Or you might stick a boot in your mouth Perry: Like I said Texas should secede Bush: But that’s what we need, ‘Cause it’s important in life to secede Perry: What if we need someone who’s brainy? Bush: We could always thaw out Cheney Perry: Let him do the thinking While the lights are shining on me Both (Bush): Be a real low brow boy (ooo ooo…) Perry: Wear a NASCAR hat and start courting all those right wing groups Both: Better start right now boy Bush: Just cut three agencies, and give the money to our troops Perry: I’ll cut Commerce, Education, and…ooops
