"Waltz For Hillary and Bernie"

[Bernie:]

Tell me before I waltz out of your life

Before turning my back on the past

Forgive my impertinent behavior

But how long do you think this pantomime can last?

Tell me before I ride off in the sunset

There's one thing I never got clear

How can you claim you're our savior

When those who oppose you are stepped on,

Or cut up, or simply disappear?

[Hillary:]

Tell me before you get onto your bus

Before joining the forgotten brigade

How can one person like me, say,

Alter the time-honored way the game is played?

Tell me before you get onto your high horse

Just what you expect me to do

I don't care what the bourgeoisie say

I'm not in business for them

But to give all my Americanos

A magical moment or two

[Bernie and HRC]

There is evil, ever around

Fundamental system of government

Quite incidental

[HRC:]

So what are my chances of honest advances?

I'd say low

Better to win by admitting my sin

Than to lose with a halo

[Bernie:]

Tell me before I seek worthier pastures

And thereby restore self-esteem

How can you be so short-sighted

To look never further than this week or next week

To have no impossible dream?

[Hillary:]

Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines

And mark your adieu with three cheers

But first tell me who'd be delighted

If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems

From war to pollution, no hope of solution

Even if I lived for one hundred years

[Both:]

There is evil, ever around

Fundamental system of government

Quite incidental

[Hillary:]

So go, if you're able, to somewhere unstable

And stay there

Whip up your hate in some tottering state

But not here, dear

Is that clear, dear?

With all the usual apologies to ALW.

Sung to the tune of Evita!

Waltz for Eva and Che
