The beautiful world of McCain (in song)

I was reading over McCain's famous quote about how he don't know much about economics. and it brought a song to my mind. Amazing how the lyrics to this oldie fits what McCain doesn't know much about:

Don't know much about history
(Sunni? Shia? That's why I bring Joe)
Don't know much biology
(I support abstinence-only education, though the facts say it doesn't work.)
Don't know much about a science book
(Intelligent-design creationism should be taught in schools.)
Don't know much about the french I took
(According to Gallup, John McCain is less popular in France than perennial fascist candidate Jean-Marie LePen.)

But I do know that one and one is two
(and I'm a PO-double-you)
What a wonderful world this would be
(If you just stop complaining. As my man Phil Gramn, said, "We have sort of become a nation of whiners.")

Don't know much about geography
("I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border." The countries do not share s border; oops.)
Don't know much trigonometry
(The Congressional Budget Office projects a deficit of $443 billion in 2013 if President Bush's tax cuts are extended, as Mr. McCain wants.)
Don't know much about algebra
(When was the last time you pumped your own gas and how much did it cost? "I don’t recall and frankly, I don’t see how it matters.")
Don't know what a slide rule is for
(except maybe figuring out how many homes one has.)

But I do know that one and one is two
(and I'm a PO-double-you)
What a wonderful world this would be
(as long as we stay in Iraq 100 years)

Now I don't claim to be an "A" student
("The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should.")
But I'm trying to be
("I've got Greenspan's book.")
So maybe by being an "A" student baby
(but not a Harvard elitist, mind you.)
I can win your love for me

But I do know that one and one is two
(but I was wrong about the tax cuts, too,)
What a wonderful world this would be
