  Now, the usual formalities
  Everyone, hold all your questions please
  You'll have your opportunities to
  Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese
  
  But upon this juncture I must state
  How immensely you appreciate
  The illusion of grandeur I create
  When every trait I overrate
  And every word gesticulate
  In praise of the motherland
  
  Puff we now ourselves with pride
  Swelling outward far and wide
  For God Herself is on our side
  With heaven's plan for the motherland
  
  Regardless of to what we pledge
  The electorate gives me the edge
  And the boost to my ego that can't be measured
  Ruling you is such a pleasure
  
  Speaking of good taste in dames
  I submit to you my list of names
  Maybe some of them come up short on brains
  But good at diplomatic games
  And sycophantic without shame
  I give you the cabinet
  
  The privilege is strictly ours
  To have you watch while we devour
  The crumbs of presidential power
  That we can grub from Lilly
  
  She's got the wardrobe we adore
  Her teeth are perfect, what is more
  She knows what having friends is for
  We're silly over Lilly
  Silly over Lilly
  'Til we're ill, we'll sing it shrilly
  
  Lilly is the nation's pride
  And we love her like a mother
  
  You don't know what this means to me
  To be the one you run to see when
  You need a mother
  
  Tell us prime minister
  Tell us prime minister
  For the record
  One time, prime minister
  
  Sources state
  That the Archbishop's hiding some
  Thing of interest
  Something of interest
  
  Sources state
  Maybe you're just a puppet of
  Special interest
  Some special interest
  Special interest
  Some special interest
  
  We would like to know your posture please
  On the hard line's platform policies
  Like providing free to all the nation
  Mandatory mass castration
  
  For the sake of common decency
  The Judeo-Christian society
  Wants to guarantee a pregnancy
  To anyone past twenty-three
  
  Tell us prime minister
  Tell us prime minister
  We've fresh ugly rumors going 'round
  
  For the sake of party unity
  I've got photographs you'd like to see
  
  Puff we now ourselves with pride
  Swelling outward far and wide
  For God Herself is on our side
  With heaven's plan for the motherland
