VINTAGE rick

It was nearly unimaginable back then: Israelis and Palestinians shaking hands on the White House lawn. It's even harder to imagine now. Remember September of '93 in this Vintage Rick!

Drill here, drill there

Off-Shore Oil? Stick a Bit in It!

By Rick Horowitz

If you hate how things are going,
Drill a hole in the ground,
If you want to get things flowing,
Drill a hole in the ground,
It's the way to solve our crisis --
Short supplies and rising prices --
Like a pair of loaded dice is:
Drill a hole.

If you love your Saabs and Audis,
Drill a hole in the ground,
If you're tired of paying Saudis,
Drill a hole in the ground,
It's the only real solution,
All it takes is execution,
So don't worry 'bout pollution:
Drill a hole.


If you're hardly feeling thankful,
Drill a hole in the ground,
Ev'ry time you need a tankful,
Drill a hole in the ground,
It's the answer to our wishes,
Saving money's so delicious,
And who cares about the fishes?
Drill a hole.

If your wallet's looking skimpy,
Drill a hole in the ground,
And enviro laws are wimpy,
Drill a hole in the ground,
Why keep going through the motions
When there's oil beneath the oceans?
Lose those strange old-fashioned notions:
Drill a hole.

If you feel like you deserve it,
Drill a hole in the ground,
There's no reason to conserve it,
Drill a hole in the ground,
When you love to cruise all summer,
And a hybrid's such a bummer,
Why should you give up your Hummer?
Drill a hole.

So you're through with acting zany,
Drill a hole in the ground,
You're with Bush and you're with Cheney,
Drill a hole in the ground,
There's no need to keep the hex on,
No excuse to keep those checks on,
We'll just give it all to Exxon!
Drill a hole.

Posted 6/22/08. You'll strike oil every time you dig into "Rick's"!
