Miss November Tuesday Bend your rubber rules Take your time but don't take Off your high heel shoes She's in demand at dinner time She's on the factory wall And when the gentlemen retire Guess who's in control? She blew your money On taking a cruise If that isn't funny Well, watch out teacher... Ohh ohh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Ohh, ohh, meet El Presidente" Dress in flimsy clothing Use your lipstick line To cover fear and loathing With a pink disguise You never refuse when she lies back Put a stripe on the union, and a star on the jack She's on the case at dinner time She's on the evening news And if you dare step out of line You're going to be abused You may not like it You may not be scared, But hell has no fury like a Young girl's ego Ohh ohh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Ohh, ohh, meet El Presidente" You might adopt an attitude, Look on the moral side (Looking on the moral side) But if police are after you, Where's the best place to hide? For this production, They gave her a gun... Ain't no director, So watch out actors! Ohh ohh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Ohh, ohh, meet El Presidente"
