I'm throwing you people a bone here.
Just show me Mickey Mouse; he's in the next county south.
How can it be a problem? What's the English word, routh?
Obylye? You say from year to year
Your products rise
In the world's eyes
Abundance, that's the word. Now please
Show us your abundance. This city holds the cream
Of American art. I've got housing projects. The Dream
Park, for security's
Sake is closed?
Those spooks who nosed
Around my car can't guarantee
My safety? Is Disney himself developing a missile
And the Atlases we see tomorrow are fakes? Or fissile
Matter in Donald's cap? I see.
I'm joking, you know,
But we want to go.
Why not? Eisenhower Ike!
I like him. We have to be tough when we talk, but during the war
It was Eisenhower, Eisenhower. He wasn't poor:
We drove that home. A rentier like
Our own kulaks,
Riding the backs
Of enlisted men. But now we're friends.
Could you call Ike up? I'm not admitting anything,
But you know I'm not Stalin. I'm not some kind of king
And conqueror. When my term ends
I'll step aside.
We take great pride
In modern life. Our sciences
Are up to date. We have the true democracy:
Every citizen helps. I come here and what do I see?
Only police and appliances.
You're not touchant.
You always want
People to love you. Sladostno?
No, that's not it, but close. When we meet, we embrace,
We kiss. You guys: a handshake maybe. Face to face,
Is how we do things. I just want to go
To Disneyland.
If I'm banned
How will that look? A local cop
Can tell the premier of Russia no? There's more
Going on here: Extremists looking to start a war.
Each man ready to blow his top.
We value time;
That's why our crime
Rate is low. Yes, I know:
Hungary, Georgia, Bury You, blah blah blah. Today
We put that aside. We're friends. For fun, let's make our way
To the rides, before we both go
Walking a wire
Over a lake of fire.
