*Recorded 2004*
(Eric Idle:
"It's dedicated to the FCC and if they broadcast it,
It will cost a quarter of a million dollars!")
Intro:
(Spoken):
(n.C)
Here's a little number I wrote the other day,
While out duck hunting with a judge...
G D7 G D7
Verse 1:
G D7 G G7
Fuck you very much The F.C.C,
C Adim G G7
Fuck you very much for fining me;
C A7 G F#7 E7
Five thousand bucks a fuck, so I'm really out of luck;
A7 D7
That's more than Heidi Fleiss was charging me.
Verse 2:
G D7 G G7
Fuck you very much The F.C.C,
C Adim G G7
For proving that free speech just isn't free.
C A7 G F#7 E7
Clear Channel's a dear channel, so Howard Stern must go;
A7 D7
At-torney General Ashcroft, doesn't like strong words and so;
G B7 E7
He's charging twice as much, as all the drugs for Rush Limbaugh;
A7 D7 G D7
So fuck you all so very much.
Verse 3:
G D7 G G7
So fuck you very much dear Mr. Bush,
C Adim G G7
For he-roically sitting on your tush.
C A7 G F#7 E7
For Halliburton, Enron, all the compa-nies who fail;
A7 D7
Let's send them a clear signal, and stick Martha straight in jail;
G B7 E7
She's an uppity rich bitch, and at least she isn't male;
A7 D7 G D7
So fuck you all so very much.
Verse 4:
G D7 G G7
So fuck you dickhead Mr. Cheney too,
C Adim G G7
Fuck you and fuck everything you do.
C A7 G F#7 E7
Your pacemaker must be a fake; you haven't got a heart;
A7 D7
As far as I'm concerned, you're just a pasty-faced old fart.
G B7 E7
And as for Condo-leeza; she's an intellectual tart;
A7 D7 G D7
So fuck you all so very much.
G D7 G G7
So fuck you very much The E.P.A,
C Adim G G7
For giving all A-laska's oil a-way.
C A7 G F#7 E7
It really is a bummer, when I can't fill my hummer,
A7 A7
The ozone's a nogozone, now that Arnold's here to say;
G B7 E7
"The nuclear Winter Games, are going to take place in LA";
A7 D7 G D7
So fuck you all so very much.
Coda:
G B7 E7
So what the planet fails? Let's save the great white males;
A7 D7 G D7, G
So fuck you all so very much.
