Gamblin' Man
Dedicated to self-appointed Republican morality judge, William Bennett, who recently admitted he lost millions while addicted to high-stakes gambling
(Sung to the tune of "Ramblin' Man" by The Allman Brothers)

(instrumental intro)

Bennett, exposed: a gamblin' man-a-an...
Scold for moral livin', 'gainst sin he wants to ban.
But all that time decevin'.
He mopes 'bout bein' canned.
'Cause he's been caught a gamblin' man.

He's press fodder, Bill the Gambler was once drug czar.
He's stuck up, and defends having no fun.
And now he's torn, on the hot seat of a... scandal fuss.
Fallin' down; high road, he has none.

Bennett, exposed: a gamblin' man-a-an...
Scold for moral livin', 'gainst sin he wants to ban.
But all that time decevin'.
He mopes 'bout bein' canned.
'Cause he's been caught a gamblin' man.

(instrumental break)

He made much hay with moral screens and warnings;
Leaving out he wants theocracy.
Was always having a good time down at the parlor.
Bored; he felt that gamblin' millions set him free.

Bennett, exposed: a gamblin' man...
Bennett, exposed: a gamblin' man...
Bennett, exposed: a gamblin' man...
