Lili’s Address

Lyrics

[All] Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side With heaven's plan for the motherland "All right, all right ladies Settle down now, settle down" [Lili Corbet] Now, the usual formalities Everyone, hold all your questions please You'll all have your opportunities to Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese But upon this juncture I must state How immensely you appreciate The illusion of grandeur I create When every trait I overrate And every word gesticulate In praise of the motherland [All] Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side With heaven's plan for the motherland [Lili] Quiet please, quiet, I'm still speaking Irregardless of to what we pledge The electorate gives me the edge And the boost to my ego can't be measured Ruling you is such a pleasure Speaking of good taste in dames I submit to you my list of names Maybe some of them come up short on brains But good at diplomatic games And sycophantic without shame I give you the cabinet [Women of the Cabinet] The privilege is strictly ours To have you watch while we devour The crumbs of presidential power That we can grub from Lili She's got the wardrobe we adore Her teeth are perfect, what is more She knows what having friends is for We're silly over Lili Silly over Lili 'Til we're ill, we'll sing it shrilly [All] Lili is the nation's pride And we love her like a mother [Lili] Oh, you like me, you like me, oh, oh You don't know what this means to me To be the one you run to see when You need a mother All right, I feel good I'm French I'm ready to take you all on First question please (Lili fields questions from the press) [The Press Corps] Tell us PM, tell us PM Can you confirm the rumors going 'round? For the record one time PM Germs of truth are being spread around Sources state That the Archbishop's hiding some Thing of interest, something of interest Sources state Maybe you're just a puppet of Special interest, some special interest Special interest, some special interest [A Somewhat Butch Group of Wymin] We would like to know your posture please On the hard line's platform policies Like providing free to all the nation Mandatory mass castration [A Fundamentally Religious Group of Women] On behalf of common decency The Judeo-Christian society Wants to guarantee a pregnancy To anyone past twenty-three Anyone past twenty three Guarantee a pregnancy to... [Lili] All right, all right, all right, all right, simmer down ladies Now you're all gonna get an answer to your questions: Ah, ah, yes, yes, no, maybe, no, maybe, not a wink, I wasn't there, I don't recall, the dog ate it Now I certainly hope that clears up the air And we can get on with some important business now [Press Corps] Tell us PM, tell us PM We've got fresh ugly rumors going 'round [Special Interest Groups] On behalf of common decency (mandatory mass castration) The Judeo-Christian Society... (mandatory mass castration) [Press Corps] For the record one time PM Do you flatly deny that you're involved? [Jack Ramsay's Old Dad] For the sake of party unity I've some photographs you'd like to see (All hell breaks loose. In desperation, Lili once again invokes the National Anthem) [All] Puff we now ourselves with pride Swelling outward far and wide For God Herself is on our side Since time began It's heaven's plan for the Mother... (A shot rings out as Lili slumps over the dais. Pandemonium reigns.)
