TIT FOR TAT

Tit for tat and tat for tit
Politics is made of this
You give me this, I'll give you that
And we'll both smile

Publicity's our strategy 
And due to public memory
Which lapses so conveniently
In a few years...

 We can raise a family
No scandal's bad enough to flee
The United States is still all milk and honey
