7. The Bay of Pigs Thing, from "Dealey Plaza"

BAY OF PIGS THING (Lyrics below) Words and Music by David Newby Copyright 2023 Juan Halcon, tenor Eric Slater, guitar David Newby, piano Adrian Rosen, bass Kevin Sticht, drums Hunt was sitting in the slammer For the break-in caper at the Watergate. And he said, “I’m gonna drop the hammer If President Nixon don’t cooperate! He said, “I know all the closets in the palace And a few of the skeletons you hide away. Like the time I saw you down in Dallas On the eve of the murder of JFK.” Nixon said, “We gotta plug this leak! Keep the cap on the bottle or we’re up a creek! We cough up the cash or spook’s gonna sing And blow the lid off of the Bay of Pigs thing!” Havana, government goon squads and gangsters conspire in the sun. Havana, we pay off El Jefe or else we resort to a gun. “Go see the CIA director!” Richard Nixon said to his Chief of Staff. “Watergate revives a Cuban specter That I wouldn’t want mentioned on a polygraph.” “Tell him the FBI has gotta cool it Or this Cuban dirt is gonna stain us all.” And Watergate became his silver bullet. He covered up Cuba and it made him fall. No one knows what those burglars sought Or what Tricky Dick’s hush money might have bought. But the blackmail made him risk everything Trying to bury the Bay of Pigs thing. The Chief of Staff had an inside guess Why his boss kept obsessing ‘bout the Cuban mess. Kennedy’s murder was the deadly sting That Nixon rebranded the Bay of Pigs thing. Havana, if I’d have been president, I would have sent in the planes. Havana, goodbye to the guy too afraid to invade your terrain!
