"No Fair to Blame a Blanco" (Song parody of "Una Paloma Blanca")

NO FAIR TO BLAME A BLANCO
Tune: "Una Paloma Blanca"

When the guv rides in a chopper
And looks down upon the state,
Makes it look like I'm a leader,
Like I'm doing something great.

I can look out through the window,
I can point and look concerned,
I can tune out all the questions
That would really make me squirm.

No fair to blame a Blanco--
I'm just a bird in the sky!
No fair to blame a Blanco--
Over the waters I fly!
Someone please make it all go away!

Once I had my share of voters
And they helped me win the race,
But their homes are under water
And they all have been displaced.

No fair to blame a Blanco--
I'm just a bird in the sky!
No fair to blame a Blanco--
Over the waters I fly!
Someone please make it all go away!

No fair to blame a Blanco--
I'm just a bird in the sky!
No fair to blame a Blanco--
Over the waters I fly!
Someone please make it all go away!

Thanks to mikrofon, who gave me the idea for doing a Blanco/Blanca parody. And then after I wrote it, I found out doug from upland had already done one, "Uno meathead-o Blanco". But this one fits the picture, I hope!

LOL! You need to send this parody in to Rush Limbaugh. Remember, he used to play "Una Paloma Blanca" (Slim Whitman version) quite a bit on his show.
