With apologies to Johnny One-Note, Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers…
　
John A. could only sing one note
And the note he sings was this
(N)Ah!
Poor John A. Boehner
Sang out with gusto
And just overlorded the place
Poor John A. Boehner
Yelled willy nilly
Until he was blue (?) in the face
Holding one note was his ace.
Couldn’t hear the brass
Couldn’t hear the drum
He was in a class by himself,
By gum!
Couldn’t hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Ev’ry one was mute
Boehner stood alone;

Sing John A. Boehner,
Sing out with “gusto” and
Just overwhelm all the crowd
Naaah!

So sing John A. Boehner, for fame!
Sing John A. Boehner out loud!
–Careful how you say his name.
