This lyric is dated as above, so I must have written it soon after Bill Clinton was confirmed as President, but it didn’t get used until Mark Bowden’s run in early 1993, which possibly makes sense as that was around about the time that the Clintons actually moved in to the White House.
It seems just a little strange posting this lyric now, in 2016, just after Trump has beaten Hillary to the White House. I wasn’t all that sure about the Clintons the first time around, was I?
Janie really liked this one. Not least because it is based on Our House by Crosby Stills Nash and Young which she really likes – click here or below for YouTube with tune and original lyrics.
♬ WHITE HOUSE ♬
(A song for Bill and Hillary Clinton to the Tune of “Our House”)
VERSE 1
HILLARY:I’ll light the fire, you use the powers,
As the Governor of State;
BILL:Sittin’ by the fire, with Gennifer Flowers,
While the wife’s out working,
She’ll be earning,
Ten times more than me, ee, ee,
All legally, ee, ee.
VERSE 2
HILLARY:Deep in the South {BILL:Deep in the South}
With gravy, grits and gingham dresses,
God, Guns, Geeks and Goops;
BILL:Joint in my mouth,{HILLARY:Joint in his mouth}
I smoke my spliff without inhaling,
Voters bought it,
They must be e-ven more stoned than me, ee, ee,
Ill-legally, ee, ee;
CHORUS 1
BOTH:Our house, is a very very very fine house,
Electric chairs will shock,
In down town Little Rock,
We rednecks kicked the shit out of George Bush;
We say, (cocking a snook)
Na, na, nananana, nananana, nanana nanana, nanananananananana,
(OptionalNa, na, nananana, nananana, nanana nanana, nanananananananana);
CHORUS 2
BOTH:The White House, is a very very very fine house,
White marble on the floor,
This sure beats Arkansas,
Though everything is hicky since George Bush….
….moved out;
VERSE 3
HILLARY:I’ll light the fire,
BILL:While I wear the pointed hat,
And sheets that we bought to-day-ay-ay-ay-ay.
