I could while away the hours
Conferrin’ with state powers
Pointin’ who’s to blame
And my head I’d be scratchin’
While my plots were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.

As Comptroller I must aver,
We are a deadbeat debtor,
and this state’s not only merely broke,
it’s really most sincerely broke.

Yeah, my navel didn’t hurt so much, but when they pierced up here it KILLED.

But the voters went with Quinn, which is a shame, because now my secret plan to get us out of this mess will stay locked away right up here.

A place where there isn’t any trouble? Do you suppose there is such a place? There must be. It’s not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It’s far, far away. Behind my ear, beyond the Moon…
Somewhere over the rainbow
Beyond this morass,
There’s a land that I heard of
Often in pol-sci class.
Somehow over the rainbow
Where pigs flew,
No more poor, and no more criminals
The wealthy pay their due.
Someday we’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where reality is far
Behind us.
Where our budgets never feel a chop
Social programs never stop
Taxes increase without a fuss.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Classes see eye-to-eye.
When pigs fly over the rainbow.
Why can’t we even try?
When happy little piglets fly
Beyond the rainbow
Our budget could be balance by July!

“I’m the Comptroller, Pat, and I was stepped over!”

“It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says… like dumb… I’m smart and I want respect!”

Just so’s I won’t be censored, the following came from the Firesign Theater “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers” -
“Don’t point that finger at me, Daddio, or I’ll cut it off!”
Wow, that explanation was longer than the bit.
A little too far to go for far too little.

So there we were on Ceti Alpha V and Khan is putting this big bug thing in Quinn’s ear and says, “You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later, as they grow, follows madness and…” I’m sorry, what was the question again?

Notice that my hair is a distinguished grey, and my sideburns are cut neatly across. That connotes trustworthiness. Not like somebody else we all know.
