I'm leavin' on a jet plane
with apologies to John Denver:

They've packed my bags, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here on the portico
Waitin' for that eloquent black guy
My last day is finally here
I regret for me no one will cheer
Already I'm so irrelevant I could die

Don't diss me and detest me
Tell me that you'll think of me
Tell me that you're sad to see me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh Dick, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've disavowed
The Geneva Convention as a quaint thing
Every place I go, I'll fear the cops
That The Hague is where they will drop
My sorry ass where Daddy can't do a thing

Don't diss me and detest me
Tell me that you'll think of me
Tell me that you're sad to see me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh Dick, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me lie to you
Close your eyes I'll make my escape
Dream about the WMD
And bin Laden wannabees
Above all you know that I kept you safe

So diss me and detest me
I don't care what you think of me
I'm outta here, it's time for Barack O
You can't catch me, I'm gonna hide
My mountain bike, I'm gonna ride
Bye Suckers, it's time for me to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't think I'll be back again
There's no parole where I'm about to go

7. I don't remember that, but I was pretty young.
My older sisters took me to one of their concerts. We went back stage and Mary patted my cheek.
