Lipstick On a Pig

Big stir in the political campaign today. Seems Sarah Palin made a comment about lipstick being the difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom. Now Barack Obama has made a comment about putting lipstick on a pig. For reasons I can't explain, an old song started running through my head and I can't get it out. Do you know it? Three Nights Drunk:

The first night that I come home
So drunk I could not see
Found a horse in my stable
Where my horse oughta be.
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a horse in the stable
Where my horse oughta be?

You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a milkcow
Your granny sent to me.

I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a saddle upon a milkcow's back
I never did see before.

The second night that I come home
So drunk I could not see
Found a coat a-hanging on the rack
Where my coat oughta be
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a coat a hanging on the rack
Where my coat oughta be?

You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a bedquilt
Your granny sent to me.

I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
Pockets upon a bedquilt
I never did see before.

The third night that I come home
So drunk I could not see
Found a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head oughta be
Come here my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How come a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head oughta be?

You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a cabbage head
Your granny sent to me

I've traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a moustache on a cabbage head
I never did see before.
