Chris Clarke Show Trial

Giant Nuke Fireball

They're sellingApostcards of the Show Tri'l
TheDjudge wears a cap andAgown
TheEbeauty parlor isE7filled with news-babes
TheDFactor is inAtown
HereAcomes the glib defendant
They'veDgot him in aAtrance
OneEhand is stuffed in aE7sad sock-puppet
TheDother is typingArants
And theDtalking heads they're nervous
TheyAneed a makeupF#call
AsELady and I lookE7out tonight
For theDGiant Nuke FireballA

APraise be to Teller's Apollo
TheDHindenburg docks atAone
AndEeverybody'sE7smoking
'neath itsDbag of hy-dro-djunA
And DrAJA and Kirby Olson
DFighting in the commentsAparts
WhileEsilent lurkersE7laugh at them
OrDpractice their LiberalAArts
DAbove the plains of New-Jur-Zee
WhereAflaming gas bagsF#fall
AndEnobody has toE7think too much
'bout theDGiant Nuke FireballA

AEinstein, disguised as Bérubé
With hisDmemories in aAblog
EPassed this way anE7hour ago
WithDNature Boy and Zeke theADog
ClarkeAlooked so frightfully immaculate
As heDhiked anotherAmile
Then heEwent off riffingE7villanelles
OnDFireballs crude andAvile
Now youDwould not think to look at him
But he wasAfamous just thisF#fall
ForEplaying the eclecticE7villain in
TheDGiant Nuke FireballA
