The party knows he has some faults,
But what he has they need: That's schmaltz.
And what he doesn't look is French.
So Bubba's coming off the bench.
The Democratic base can't wait
To listen to their Bill orate
And prove that he is still a mensh.
They welcome Bubba off the bench.
He is their knight who feels their pain--
An empathetic Charlemagne.
And they've forgiven him that wench.
So Bubba's coming off the bench.
