Gershwin: Of Thee I Sing / Let ’Em Eat Cake

[CLERK]
The next business before the Senate
Is the resolution on the impeachment of the President
[CLERK, spoken]
The President of the United States
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Who?
[CLERK, spoken]
The President of the United States
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Mister President, won't you please sit down while we kick you out?
[FULTON, LIPPMAN, GILHOOLEY & LYONS]
Whereas
[LYONS]
At a meeting of the Senate at which a quorum was present
A motion was made and it was proposed that—
[FULTON, LIPPMAN, GILHOOLEY & LYONS]
Whereas
[LYONS]
John P. Wintergreen had undertaken
To marry the winner of a beauty contest held in Atlantic City—
[FULTON, LIPPMAN, GILHOOLEY & LYONS]
Whereas
[LYONS]
His refusal to marry the winner Diana Devereaux
Will lead to dire international complications—
[FULTON, LIPPMAN, GILHOOLEY & LYONS]
Whereas
[LYONS]
Now therefore be it resolved that President John P. Wintergreen be
And hereby is
[LYONS, spoken]
Impeached from the said office of President of these United States
[SENATOR JONES, spoken]
I second the resolution
[FULTON, spoken]
Our first witness—the French Ambassador
Ambassador, please explain why France is so concerned about the plaintiff
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
She's the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon
[SENATORS]
Napoleon?
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
She's contemplating suicide
Because that man, he threw aside
A lady with the blue blood of Napoleon
What sort of man
Is this who can
Insult my country
With his effrontery?
[SENATORS]
To the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Miss Diana Devereaux
[SENATORS, spoken]
Who?
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Tell your story, little one
[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
Commencez, s'il vous plaît
