(Sung by Representative Joe Barton, to the tune of "Blue Moon")   BP, you've been so badly defamed— By shakedown artists so robbed, by petty bureaucrats blamed. BP, I'm sorry they've been so strict on These damages. You've been picked on, Without a case to convict on. But pay no mind to all these overreactions, For memories of this one more spill Will fade, like all your other infractions, And once again we'll shout, "Drill, baby, drill!" BP, you've been so badly defamed, The public's been so inflamed. BP, I'm truly ashamed.
