Getting All the "Ons"



Today is a history-making milestone

For we are impeaching the thrd "on"

Well, actually it's the very first time for real

For those other two times weren't done deals



The first attempt was against Andrew Johns"on"

Back in the immediate post-civil war era shunned

For going against policy in trying to remove a man

Who'd rubbed him the wrong way taking alternate stand



And the second WOULD have been against Dick Nix"on"

Who broke many laws in the process of his re-election ...

And thus would have been impeached without hesitation

But his appointed successor then blessed him with pardon



Now just today we begin the third ... against Bill Clint"on"

Who lied about dilly-dallying with a young female intern

And who now faces charges of perjury and obstsruction

All over a rather indiscreet affair revealed thru publication



Where it will all go now it's reached the Senate is anyone's guess

But, undoubtedly ... there will be quite a few more folks under duress

But now we've reached this stage ... we have to see it on through

And let's just hope ... that nobody else ... will have anything to lose
