this was e-mailed to me, sorry i can't find the right source to attribute credit, but this board should at least enjoy it:

You're the top! You're a press room sex toy!
You're the top! You're the White House rent boy
You're a right-wing shill! A bottom's thrill ... A plant!
You were Scottie's foil ... A West Wing spoil
A sycophant!
You're the spin on a George Bush gaffe
You're the frost on Dick Cheney's laugh
I am just amazed that they'd find ways to stop
Such a juicy front-page story! You're the top!
You're the top! You're a D.C. hooker!
You're the top ... On a pressure cooker!
You're a Novak tip that made folks hip to Plame!
You're a right-wing hack who turned Daschle back
Into What's-His-Name?!
You're the top! Whose website's revealing!
You're the top! That they hope ain't squealing!
The secret's out, other shoe's about to drop!
Tell us, Bulldog: Who's your bottom? You're the top!

Clever idea but the execution needs to be better. It doesn't scan properly after the 2nd line.

to be fair, in many of the verses and encores Porter himself wrote (the alternates are in the 62 and 87 revisions as well as other sources) the "scan" is pushed to fit. This one ain't bad at all.
