I'm Monica Lewinsky
(Duncan McNab)
I'm Monica Lewinsky
I'm sure you've heard my name
It's going to bring me fortune
It's already brought me fame
They're reading all about me
In countries near and far
'Cause they want to know what the President did
With the end of his old cigar.
cho: With the end of his old cigar
Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!
They want to know what the President did
With the end of his old cigar
I was working in the White House
It really was rather fun
One night the President asked me
If I would like to come
Into his Oval Office
And have a drink at the bar
Where he asked me if I'd like to light
The end of his old cigar.
I went around one evening
To see what he was at
He was busy on the telephone
To Yasser Arafat.
I sneaked up close beside him
But then things went too far
'Cause he made a mess when he smudged my dress
With the end of his old cigar.
Well, I'm no longer welcome
In the corridors of power.
My relationship with William
It has turned rather sour,
So I went before a jury
And a man called Kenneth Starr
And I told him what the President did
With the end of his old cigar.
So come all you politicians
Take heed to what I say
The smell of stale cigar smoke
Will never go away.
It clings to everything you've got
And it may sound quite bizarre
If you want to smell of roses
Stub out your old cigar.
