He's Kind of Crazy

He's Kind Of Crazy By Roy Merritt The ambassador arrived at the presidential palace A very humble man He looked at the president and said. "Cuz You gotta understand Our president didn’t mean it He’s a little off you see He’s a little rocky up top He’s kind of crazy He really does like you folks I’m telling you remain calm He didn’t really mean it when he said He was delivering you a nuclear bomb He didn’t mean it when he talked about Turning your land to glass Didn’t mean when he said He was givin’ you a nuclear blast He didn’t mean it when he said We’d be roundin’ you people up And marching you into labor camps And all kinds of other stuff He’s a pal of that Ruskie That fellow that was in the KGB He thinks that’s way he should act He’d like to get him some tyranny And so the rest of us in US government Want to give assurance let you know We’ll do our level best To keep him from the nuclear codes We’ll do our level best To keep a tight rein on this man So pay no attention to what he says We won’t let him give commands We only got four years you know To put up with this kook Don’t all you folks in the world get panicked Don’t let him get you spooked We’ll keep him from the nuclear codes We’ll keep him away from sharp things We’ll keep him under scrutiny To control his many mood swings You folks got to understand this guy is off quite a bit He’s often talks like a whack job He can’t control his lip He’s kind of ridiculous You certainly got to see He’s sometimes out of his head He’s kind of crazy So don’t you worry about no mushroom clouds Floatin’ over your head Don’t you worry about him dropping no bomb To kill all your people dead Don’t worry we won’t let him do that We’ll keep an eye on him We’ll keep him busy doing other things And we’ll take away his pen And maybe in four years We’ll have pulled our head out of our rear And won’t let another fool like this Anywhere the White House near Maybe by then We’ll have gotten our head on straight And will have decided it’s a stupid thing To have a lunatic the head of state And maybe in four years We’ll have pulled our head out of our rear And won’t let another fool like this Anywhere the White House near Maybe by then We’ll have gotten our head on straight And will have decided it’s a stupid thing To have a lunatic the head of state Maybe by then Welll have gotten our head on straight And will have decided it’s a stupid thing To have a lunatic the head of state!"
