With a Song Full of Spleen

Tune: Richard Rodgers's "With a Song in My Heart"

With a song full of spleen
And a passive-aggressive approach—
Partly caused by caffeine
And a lifetime of flying in coach—
I express my views
(Like anyone cares!)
On news
And affairs
Of state. There's
Not a lot I can say
In defense of my corn-on-the-cob—
It's pathetic, but hey,
Better this than a regular job;
For I did the math,
And I chose the path
Of a song full of wrath and spleen.
