I'll Take The Fifth Amendment
(Sung to the tune of "The Twelfth of Never" by Johnny Mathis)

Monica Goodling, former Dept. of Justice/White House liason and top aide to scandal-plagued Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez resigned rather than testify to Congress about U.S. attorneys being fired for political reasons; she recently testified under an immunity agreement. As sung by Monica Goodling immediately after resigning:

(instrumental intro)

You asked how much did I do; would I explain?
My name's Monica Goodling, and I must refrain.
You ask 'bout fired attorneys? I've said, "Adieu."
I'll take the Fifth Amendment; don't ask me or pursue.

Rove can boast... 'cause he runs the show.
Rove can boast... I've departed; I'll lay low.

My lawyer will to me tell... forget my gloom.
My lawyer will come over... to save me from doom.
My lawyer will fix things so... I don't serve time.
I'll take the Fifth Amendment, and won't admit a crime.

Rove can boast... 'cause he runs the show.
Rove can boast... I've departed; I'll lay low.

My lawyer will to me tell... forget my gloom.
My lawyer will come over... to save me from doom.
My lawyer will fix things so... I don't serve time.
I'll take the Fifth Amendment, and won't admit a crime.

I'll take the Fifth Amendment, and won't... ad-mit... a... crime....
