Spokesman Speakes - Marci Boyd, Charles Gounod

Is what the president said today

Just what the president meant to say?

Or is it just a simple case of "presidential imprecision"?

If you want to avoid mystiques

You'd better listen to Spokesman Speakes

For he will always tell you what the president's really saying!

If you're listening to the news
And you think our president's changed his views
Don't worry, you're probably suffering
From pre-clarification confusion
It's not that he, too, gets a little confused
But Spokesman Speakes, he always knows
Just what the president's really saying.

If you hear a phrase that is quizzical to your ear like:
[spoken]: "We will only deploy SDI after all offensive nuclear weapons are eliminated."
Have no fear, tomorrow It all will be
Perfectly clear
That what he meant was "We will only share SDI with other nations after all offensive nuclear weapon are eliminated."
And you can relax, knowing that...

What the president said today
Is not what the president meant to say
It's just that he sometimes meant to say
It's just that he sometimes prefers
To make a point by talking dramatically.

If the meaning is what you seek
You'd better wait till the Spokesman Speakes
For only he can (ever) really be sure what the p's really saying.
