FBI Director Kash Patel:
some folks say he's the director from hell.
Others call him a total schmoozer
and he doesn't like to be called "J. Edgar Boozer".

You better go the extra mile
In order to make others smile
Take care how not to be hostile
Help humans to revive
Leave not people to their own fate
With their worst woes, yours you relate
Truly, it’s a wonderful trait
From it, joy you derive
Give confidence to a loser
Transform totally a boozer
Play well the role of a schmoozer
To let mankind survive
Oh, mommy and daddy, please hear my plea
Don't sit your children on Santa Claus' knee
He's too touchy feely
Eyes are hard and steely
He's soused from too many a martini
I hate to call ol' Saint Nick a boozer
But to tell the truth, he's just a loser
Soused more than a tiddly
He's not worth a diddly
Too much hooch turns him into a schmoozer
Christmas tree. Decorated Christmas tree...
On your green branches, don't let Santa pee
He gets a bit foggy
Thinking he's a doggy
He'll lift a leg and expose his peewee
