Please, Governor Christie!
Use that veto power
Cuz you don’t like fruitcakes
I know you won’t cower
In a war of attrition
Create jobs in the kitchen
Makin’ the fruitcake
It’s hard and it’s heavy
When it lands it explodes
No mortar, no shrapnel
Just raisins and cloves
War could be easy
And cleaning up breezy
Hit ‘em with fruitcake
(bridge or middle section)
Make all the Middle East
Safe for De-mo-ra-cy
Picture the Fox News headline:
“U.S. Constipates Enemy!”
This humble bread
Of fruit and flour
Could fin’ly have
Its shining hour
With a new purpose
It could resurface
As a recruit cake!
(Oh, yeahhhhh!)
(Tag with a big finish!)
Just wrap it in foil
(da da da da!)
It ain’t gonna spoil “ “
It’s dark and it’s rich “ “
Like Arabian oil
““
I’m a pa-tri-ot who
“”
Has altered her view ‘’ “
Hurray for fruitcaaaaaaaaaaaake!
(Boom! Boom!)
