4 With all his charming real-life qualities,

6 dAnd his demeaning remarks about women,
7 eAnd his ethnic slurs about Poles and Italians,
8 fAnd his selfish response to every crisis,

5 jBecause your little variety show is also much more important than you think, and it will bring millions and millions of people together every Sunday night,
6 For many many years,
7 And you will give all of them much joy,
8 And many exciting new stars,
9 Including comedians,
10 And acrobats,
11 And performing animals,
12 Not to mention jugglers,
13 And magicians,
14 And ventriloquists,
