    In Old D.C., where law is king
    You’ve got less votes? Here’s what they say

    When the election is won and the counting is done
    There’s a loser

    When you’re claiming abuse and the court says, “Not true!”
    You’re that loser

    It’s a crime, all the time, hearing whine after whine
    Pathetic, fella

    Don’t matter what you say, when you bray, every day
    Like the South antebella’

    When your lackeys can’t tell where’s Four Seasons Hotel
    That’s on Rudy

    When a commission sublime lays out all of your crimes
    That’s their duty

    A perp walk from the scene won’t be much of a dream, eh, padrone?
    Oh, free dumb isn’t free, e’en in Old D.C.
    You’re a moron!

    I used to say

    When you are down by the sea
    and an eel bites your knee
    that’s a moray…

    I think I first saw that in a "B.C." comic strip by Jonny Hart.

    "When an eel lunges out / And bites off your snout / That's a moray!"
