the critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring 
and really not an awful lot of fun.

and he doesn't even sit on toilet seats?

to assume an air of dignity 
and bless us all with his oratory prowess, 
his lame-brained antics 
and his jumping in the air. 


And every night his act's the same 
and so it must be all 
a game of chess he's playing --- 
"But you're wrong, Steve: 
you see, it's only solitaire.''
