My mother had NPR on during the whole of watergate- or so it seemed to me. They used to sing the funniest song, I'll go see if I can find it- it went "We're Haldeman Erlichman Mitchell and Dean..." I found it: This cleverly-written 1973 release, titled “Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean” (Mr. G Records 826), is by the CREEP, a goofy acronym for Committee to Rip-off Each and Every Politician. And here are the words you seek: We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean The way we've been treated is really obscene To think that a bug worth hardly a shrug Could end up by getting us tossed in the jug We all got the gate for no reason or rhyme You'd think we'd committed some horrible crime Our minds may be dirty but our hands are clean We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean Our job was to see that the White House stayed green We might have had flaws like bending the laws But God only knows it was for a good cause There's no power shortage where we were concerned And what little profit resulted we earned Four lovelier fellows you never have seen Than Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean Our past has been fat but the future looks lean With backs to the wall we're taking the fall But damnit we only robbed Pete to pay Paul Just when we were getting to be well-to-do The Watergate turned into our Waterloo And now everybody is out to demean Poor Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean Yes we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean We're perfectly willing to spill every bean We've nothing to hide with God on our side He knows we were only along for the ride And so it won't come as a terrible blow There's one little thing that we think you should know Whatever we say isn't quite what we mean We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean Oh yes we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean Things won't be the same when we're gone from the scene But people will still recall with a thrill Our sell-out performance on Capitol Hill It just isn't fair to take all of the blame When all we were doing was playing the game Now all of Washington's caught in-between Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
