She's mean She's greedy She's very very pretty And of course she's a lying hypocrite And of course she's on TV every morning And just like America, Cathy Lee Gifford is a drag queen And what's a drag queen? Well someone who just can't stop drawing attention to how pretty they are I mean Cathy Lee everytime she moves her legs or bats an eye or touches her hair she reminds you, in that subtle way she has of how beautiful she is and yes okay so she IS beautiful but more than that each gesture says I'm beautiful, so beautiful, and that I'm barely, just barely conscious of it, and on top of that I'm intelligent (questionable) and vicious. I can be vicious. If I have to, I can defend myself against anything and I'll still be beautiful, oooh I'm just stamping my little high heels right now and removing a stray lock of hair with my long long dangerous fingernails yes I can stand up for what I believe and be glamorous too And I believe in America (which means myself) Cathy Lee Gifford And I believe in fidelity and marriage and love (and all the other lies) And even when you find my husbands fat hairy wrinkly old dick up some forty-five year old Exercise Queen in a hotel I can pull my life back together and lie Like drag queens and the United States of America I can lie I can exploit Latina women in sweat shops and then I can appear with President Clinton and I can lie And you will love me, Cathy Lee Gifford You will But most of all, you will watch me on TV Because that's the way mornings are; Inescapable, the beginning of all that treachery and drudgery and then there's me, being more beautiful than you'll ever be Look at me I'm Cathy Lee I'm some kind of an achievement |
