The Senator McCarthy Blues

By Hal Block (2005)
On album Atomic Platters: Cold War Music From the Golden Age of Homeland Security (2005)

i>Spoken: Mr. Chairman, please
Point of order, please, point of order, please
Can I finish, please?

Singing:
I've got those Senator Mc
Carthy, Chairman Mundt,
Mc
Lellen, Potter, Senator Dirksen Blues

Because my gal won't leave her TV set,
I think that she's about to blow her fuse
I've got those open session, closing session,
End the session, no confession blues

I've got the Secretary Stevens,
Don't remember, just can't place it blues
I've got those mitsa meya, mama mia,
(Mr. secretary, please!)
Sorry Senator, I was in Korea blues
I've got those hey, reporter, no recorder,
Close the border (point of order!) blues

And she's got the dishes in the sink,
And her floor ain't mopped, too
She's got the washin' in the washer
She don't care what DUZ* will do
'Cause once she that Welch get with those legal torts
She just yells, "Beat me, daddy till I'm a habeas corpse."

Spoken: Can I finish? Can I, can I finish, please?

Can you finish? Look, I've got those Senator Mc
Carthy,
I, I've just, I've got those blues till I can burst
Now, I don't know what it's all about
Or where or when or who's on first?

Spoken: Can I finish, I'd like to say something please

I've got the stop the babble, let's play Scrabble,
Mommy, mommy where's the Commie blues

Spoken: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, please!

I've got those Senator Mc
Carthy,
Listen gal you're husband's getting jealous blues
Now you better do a little house work
Or there's a certain man you're gonna lose
So better turn off those hearings
Before your man gets touchy
And be content to spend the day
With Groucho Marx and Liberace

Oh, here's the moral of the story
And this you ought to know
A good man of your own
Is better than a daytime TV show
Now if you got your man
Mc
Carthy sure won't mind

Spoken: Can I finish, can I finish?

I'm finishing, it's the finish to the program called "What's My Shine?"

Spoken: This record is adjourned until 10:30 tomorrow

Is that all, Senator?

Can I finish, please, can I finish?

Oh, not again. Oh!

I'd like finish, can I finish? I'd like to finish, Can I finish, please?

We're finished
