to “Copacabana”
(music by barry manilow/
words by bruce sussman & jack feldman)
Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer
The aim was global.
the aim was noble.
To stop the warming of the air
and the oceans everywhere.
‘Cause in reliance
On solid science:
Most nations knew that CO2
Was the culprit to pursue.
Bill Clinton said: “Let’s go!”
To start the U.S., though
The Republicans held the Congress.
Then George Bush said “WHOA!”
To Kyoto.
Kyoto Proto-.
Clean house of greenhouse in toto.
The Kyoto.
Kyoto Protocol.
Inking conditions for shrinking emissions.
To Kyoto …
he just said “NO.”
Despite consumption.
Bush has the gumption.
Still to insist it isn’t fair
that the U.S. does its share.
To stop the masses
Of harmful gases.
All from the gorge on fossil fuel.
Showing George the docile tool
Of every oil pro.
Who he must owe and owe.
Yo, the earth just isn’t worth
As much as Conoco.
So Kyoto.
Kyoto Proto-.
Clean house of greenhouse in toto.
The Kyoto.
Kyoto Protocol.
Inking conditions for shrinking emissions.
The Kyoto …
a row to hoe.
The aim is global.
the aim is noble.
But Bush is cheeky in his drawl.
so that week in Montreal:
His team uncoolly
Tried hard to bully
The other countries meetin’ there.
Who agreed they didn’t care.
As polar caps outflow.
and ozone gaps outgrow.
Not much time to slow the damage.
So they’ve got to go --
With Kyoto.
Kyoto Proto-.
Clean house of greenhouse in toto.
The Kyoto.
Kyoto Protocol.
Inking conditions for shrinking emissions.
The Kyoto …
or no more snow.
Or no more snow.
