Don't Box Me In (Kerry Song Parody)
LonePalm | 3/31/2004 | LonePalm

DON'T BOX ME IN
Don’t Fence Me In by Cole Porter
Parody by LonePalm
As sung by John Fn Kerry

Oh, make me bland, very bland with my wavy hair above,
Don't box me in.
Let me stride through the wide-open issues that I love,
Don't box me in.
Let me get support from leaders over seas,
And listen to the murmur of those I would appease,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't box me in.

Bush call a truce let me straddle all positions
Covered by a fawning press.
They will excuse, let me pander or meander
Till I see my numbers rise.

I want to deride Tom Ridge and the Patriot Act
And bark at the moon till they think I’m cracked
And I won't live in hovels and that’s just a fact,
Don't box me in.

Oh, make me bland, very bland with my wavy hair above,
Don't box me in.
Let me stride through the wide-open issues that I love,
Don't box me in.
Let me get support from leaders over seas,
And listen to the murmur of those I would appease,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't box me in.

Bush call a truce let me straddle all positions
Covered by a fawning press.
They will excuse, let me pander or meander
Till I see my numbers rise.

I want to deride Tom Ridge and the Patriot Act
And bark at the moon till they think I’m cracked
And I won't live in hovels and that’s just a fact,
Don't box me in.

It's even better that you don't have to listen to ME sing it.

I get paid very well not to sing in front of large audiences. I get paid even more not to rehearse.

hehe ! My wife and SIL tell me I sound like an OLD bird when I sing.

I think they mean dying bird, but they're too nice to admit that, lol !
