BRILLIANT SONG ABOUT THE REPREHENSIBLE CLIFF DEAL BY CHARLES OSGOOD

A HAPPY NEW YEAR SONG TO CONGRESS.

[SUNG TO THE TUNE OF "CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE"]

The Osgood File.

We're past the cliff now - sort of dangling over it. In a moment, a song to Congress...

((( BREAK )))

( Osgood on Keyboard )

Call them irresponsible.
Isn't it demonstrable?
Throw in great self-righteousness, too.
Do their foolish alibis bore you?
Well, it doesn't matter -
they'll just ignore you.

It's all so political -
and so hypocritical.
Nothing they have to say seems true.
Their motives, we've long suspected,
are getting re-elected 
to those seats where they've sat.
And they're very good at that.

In no mood concessional,
membership Congressional
might just buy us a moon of blue.
As what we're entitled to, 
someone will have to pay -
maybe your kids and mine someday.

Call that indefensible - 
even reprehensible.
Maybe they're in the mode
to kick the can down the road.

That's what is being said,
so watch out for that road ahead.
