Tex the Pontificator

Hugo Chavez struts around
And crows just like a rooster.
He thumbs his nose at the U.S.
And is his own best booster.

Refrain:
Hugo Chavez keep it up,
Hugo, the dear leader.
Keep on blaming someone else,
Or you will hit your nadir.

Pose for pictures; take a bow;
Shut down another paper.
Blame the Yanquis for your poor.
Try to make them quaver.

Refrain

Arm the rebels right next door;
Complain about aggression.
You may think that these conflict,
But it’s all just projection.

Refrain

Rattle missiles; rattle swords.
Rattle all your marbles.
Rattle anything you like,
But all your rants are garbles.

Refrain

Venezuela is his toy;
He sets who wins and loses.
If you are even half-way smart,
You’ll do just what he chooses.

Refrain
