In honor of Mitch Daniels' resignation as head of the OMB, I present my "Bye Bye Mitch," to be sung to "Bye Bye Love" by Boudleaux & Felice Bryant and first performed by the Everly Brothers. Feel free to use this midi link.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He helped make a mess,
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
There goes Mitch Daniels to something new.
He'll run for office. I hope he'll lose.
He was Dub's henchman, till Daniels quit.
Good-bye to Mitch Daniels' fiscal myths.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He helped make a mess,
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
He worked for Lilly, helped shield their drugs
From suits so vexing. Now he'll get bucks.
Cause he's the reason they sell vaccines
And aren't liable for injuries.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He's left quite a mess,
I'm sick of all the lies.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He helped make a mess,
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Cut rich guys' taxes, his favorite job,
He served the wealthy, the poor could starve.
As Dubya's "Blade" in the OMB
He killed the surplus at Bush's knee.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He helped make a mess,
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
Insider trading is rumored too.
Was Daniels forced out? It could be true.
Mitch turned the budget into debris.
Did Bush's bidding so gleefully.
Bye bye Mitch,
Mitch D's quit, he says,
He's left quite a mess,
I'm sick of all the lies.
Bye bye Mitch,
Bye bye insolence,
And incompetence,
He's not my kind of guy.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
I sure ain't gonna cry.
