He’s Just My Bill

Torch song for the big dog

Calvin Trillin

January 30, 2008

(A reprise of the Showboat classic as sung by Hillary Clinton after the South Carolina primary)

Along came Bill. He wouldn’t shut his trap. He yammered at the church And at the shopping mall. He tried to knock And mock Barack. And all that palaver Just turned off the voters. But I will not say, “Oh, Bill, please stay away.” He just may still Draw voters my way in Super Tuesday’s votes. If so, he’s still my Bill.
