Ten Cents A Coup Lyrics - Phil Ochs

It was a used car dealer's election 

And the choice was rather small 

The boys agreed, "It's the war we need 

So there's no president at all" 

Here's to Nixon and Agnew 

They are the stars of the stage and screen 

Not since Laurel and Hardy 

Have I laughed so hard, I screamed 

I thought that Johnson was the devil 

I thought we couldn't do no worse 

Now the White House stands in Disneyland 

This country must be under a curse 

Here's to Nixon and Agnew 

They are the stars of the stage and screen 

Not since Laurel and Hardy 

Have I laughed so hard, I screamed 

I dreamed that Nixon died of a suntan 

There was only Spiro left 

At his swearing in, he fell on his chin 

He assassinated himself 

Here's to Nixon and Agnew 

They are the stars of the stage and screen 

Not since Laurel and Hardy 

Have I laughed so hard, I screamed
