the rumors of your demise (oh my! oh yes!)   exaggerated at best (who knows? i guess)   and from what i surmise (oh my! oh yes!)   you've changed the world more or less   (so says the press)      hey mr. my hat is off to you   hey mr. my hat is off   i owe it all to you, i owe it all to you      with eloquence on your side (no lie, no way)   sincerity on your face (alright, ok)   and you look so dignified (no lie, no way)   my doubts are fully displaced (my fears allay)      trees are greener now   children laugh out loud   there is peace and harmony again   no pain or poverty   thanks to your policies   i heard it all on n.p. radio      then the birds will sing,   "thanks for everything!"   all the hindus bow   "thanks for the holy cows!"   in 2093, they'll curse your legacy   in 2094, they will exhume your corpse
