Don't know much about Geography
All those countries look the same to me
Araqis, Saudis, and Iranians
Just a bunch of weird barbarians
All I know is they wear funny clothes
Why they hate us heaven only knows
What a wonderful world it could be

Don't care much about History
The English language is a mystery
But I know CEOs with lots of dough
They'll tell me everything I need to know
Those weapons of destruction are everywhere
If we can't find them….. we'll put some there
What a wonderful world it will be

Bridge 1:
So 35 million folks are jobless
The deficit is out of sight
Just trust in the Lord and he will help us
I'm just doin what I think is ri-ight
I read my bible every ni-ight

Bridge 2:
The seniors and disabled people
Don't need all that money anyway
And education is much too costly
But tax cuts for the rich are o-o-kay-ay
That's what my advisors say-ay

So go out there folks and vote for me
No one cares about democracy
And Mom and Daddy want a dynasty
What a wonderful world it will be
For my friends and my family and me
