About this episode
This Week's Unbelievable Script
0:00
The overture is over, the work week's almost done
0:05
Another seven days beneath the Washington sun
0:10
A senator from somewhere made a truly baffling speech
0:15
A bill was passed (or wasn't), just beyond a party's reach
0:21
The press corps gathered breathless for a statement, sharp and grand
0:26
That ended up meaning nothing anyone could understand
0:31
They hit their marks, they read their lines, with practiced, solemn frowns
0:36
While we, the cast, just stand here in our hand-me-down-gowns
0:42
Oh, the Capitol Curtain Call, another week's review!
0:47
A plot so unbelievable, you know it must be true
0:52
We sing the songs they've written us, with high kicks and a tear
0:58
Did someone really write this down? Are we premiering here?
1:03
It’s chaos in the choreography, a scandal in the wings
1:08
Just tune in for the finale that another Friday brings!
1:13
A tweet was sent at midnight, then deleted in the dawn
1:19
The talking heads on cable news just urged the drama on
1:24
An expert was appointed to a panel of great might
1:29
Who promptly then resigned because their past came to the light
1:34
They point and shout across the aisle, a well-rehearsed debate
1:40
Forgetting that the audience is sitting at the gate
1:45
With tickets that they paid for, with their patience and their tax
1:50
Just waiting for a single scene that simply states the facts!
1:56
Oh, the Capitol Curtain Call, another week's review!
2:01
A plot so unbelievable, you know it must be true
2:06
We sing the songs they've written us, with high kicks and a tear
2:11
Did someone really write this down? Are we premiering here?
2:17
It’s chaos in the choreography, a scandal in the wings
2:22
Just tune in for the finale that another Friday brings!
2:27
Just once, I'd like a storyline that's logical and sane
2:32
A simple hero's journey, through the sunshine and the rain
2:38
But no! The author's mad, you see! They crave the twists and shocks!
2:43
So give us sixteen subplots and a ticking Doomsday clock!
2:48
And build the set, and cue the lights, the spectacle's the thing!
2:54
Ready or not, it's curtain up, now everybody SING!
2:59
Oh, the Capitol Curtain Call, another week's review! (What a show!)
3:04
A plot so unbelievable, you know it must be true! (It can't be true!)
