Ten Cents a Coup Lyrics


It was a used car dealer's election
And the choice was rather small
The boys agreed, "It's the war we need
So there's no president at all"Here's to Nixon and Agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy
Have I laughed so hard, I screamedI thought that Johnson was the devil
I thought we couldn't do no worse
Now the White House stands in Disneyland
This country must be under a curseHere's to Nixon and Agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy
Have I laughed so hard, I screamedI dreamed that Nixon died of a suntan
There was only Spiro left
At his swearing in, he fell on his chin
He assassinated himselfHere's to Nixon and Agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since Laurel and Hardy

Have I laughed so hard, I screamed

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
