Song Lyrics

I was thoroughly impressed when Bill Clinton did his 5 hour testimony on how he didn`t get it on with a girl.
And they asked him really direct questions like:
"Look, did you get it on with this chick or not?"
"Get? What do you mean by the word `Get`?"[Clinton]
Basically, he had 800 spears a minute thrown at him for five hours, and dodged everyone of them.
Amazing.

You know, most Americans can`t speak English.
Here`s a guy who uses his toungue prettier than a $50 whore...
He is just amazing.
"Look, did you have oral sex with this woman?"
"Have?"[clinton]
*dodging sound effects and wooping noises*
AMAZING!!

He`s amazing!!
They should teach Clinton in college.
Just how to get around in the language he is just like an eel in the weeds in the ocean, man.
He`s like an eel going through the Sargasso Sea, man. Ya know?
He`s slick and slippery...you can`t get to the guy.
He`s not teflon, he`s just oily.
He`s like a Dukes-of-Hazard-kinda-yahoo-guy.

And he`s gettin` it, ya know?
And I was really impressed with his use of language.
I just thought it was brilliant, ya know?
And he sat there, real composed, and took direct questions and changed them into this trapezoidal, abstract queries.
And you`re like, "Look! Red light/Green light! Yes or no!!"
And he`s like,"Wha---" *dodging noises*
And then he walks away like, "Fuck you!"

Ya gotta give him a little bit of credit because, shit man, you can`t even get by a parking ticket, man.
By the end of him getting a parking ticket, or traffic ticket, the cop would be giving him a hand job at the end of it!
