You put the water back in the well, Buntzie,
You charm the liberty back in the bell, Buntzie
You've got the podium jumpin
With speakers that you cull from everywhere
The whole of Philly's hummin'
Since you brought worldly back to World Affairs.

You hold your head higher than Will Penn, Buntzie
You're more assembled than the UN, Buntzie
Who ever thought a gal from
West Philly would have your honored seat?
You've made our conscience rise again,
You've given us the drive again,
You've made the Council thrive again, Buntzie.

You've brought the forum back into style, Buntzie
You made Mikhail Gorbachev smile, Buntzie
You're cool as Mentadent
There's rebel in your manner and your speech
You shine as President
A President we never would impeach

You make a speech that could be the pits, Buntzie
Seem like a foreign film at the Ritz, Buntzie
You came, you saw, you conquered
And wore the grandest hats for all to see
Your flair for organ-zation'll prove to be inspirational

Dubya thinks you're just sensational, Buntzie.

You make the cheez whiz on our steak melt, Buntzie
You've got more dirt on folks than Mark Felt, Buntzie
You've got charisma, passion
And quite a Rolodex beyond compare
Our stage is now in fashion
Since you brought worldly back to World Affairs

You make the programs end right on time, Buntzie
You give Jesse Jackson his rhyme, Buntzie
We never doubted that you'd
Make our Council such a sight to see.
You've made us feel alive again,
We can do Kelly Drive again,
We'll sing your name five times again, Buntzie.
Buntzie! Buntzie! Buntzie! Buntzie!

JOE RAY LEE
To the tune of 'Do Re Me', Sound of Music
**Buntzie with students**

Let's start at the every beginning.
A very good place to start.
When you fight you begin with:
So's your old man!
When you debate you begin with Model UN.

Model UN?
Model UN.
The way to bring conflict to end:
Model UN.
Model UN.

Model UN is a mock assembly of...
oh let's see if I can make this easier.

Joseph here thinks war is near
Ray thinks Joe is full of bunk
Lee agrees with Joseph's fear
Barb is siding with no one

So an assembly's put in play
A resolution's drawn by Joe
He debates it out with Ray
Then a vote is called for yea or no, no, no

When you know the words to write
Your amendment comes to light
Together!

When we know the words to write
Our amendment comes to light.

Joe!
I fear that war is near Ray!
Joe is full of bunk!

Lee!
I want to deal with poverty

Barb!
It's three, I've got to run...

So, the members had their say
Now, it's time the vote is called
Lee will tally up the yeas
Barb will tally up the nos

(Yea/No medley)

When you know what words to bring
You'll debate most...Anything!

Joseph here thought war was near
Ray thought Joe was full of bunk
Lee amended Joseph's plea
Barb has really got to go...

So we debated as adults
And a vote was finally called
Then the secretary read
That the final vote was
No, Yea, No, Yea, No, Yea
No, No, Yea, No, No, Yea Yea
No Yea.

FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE
WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL
To the tune of 'Modern Major General',
The Pirates of Penzance
**William (Bill) Bodine**

I am the former President of
the World Affairs Council
My job was courting speakers
both the corporate and political,
I know the Prince of Monaco
and hosted those offic-ial
From McNamara to Harriman whose
jokes were quite hysterical

I've dined on Cornish game hen
with Sir Hillary and Ruckleshaus
Discussed the Great Society
with LBJ and Mickey Mouse
About global diplomacy did
Kissinger pontificate
(Pause - trying to think of next line, then Ahh!)
While Nixon told his version of
the scandalousnesa Watergate

While Nixon told his version of
the scandalousnesa Watergate
While Nixon told his version of
the scandalousnesa Watergate
While Nixon told his version of
the scandalousnesa Watergate

I've organized excursions to both
China and to Israel
And started student programs that
could not be called abysmal
In short, on matters topical,
vital and political
I am the former President of
the World Affairs Council

In short, on matters topical, vital and political
He is the former President of
the World Affairs Council

I'm very motivated too with matters educational
I've served as head of companies
insurance and fi-nan-cial
My medical experience I am
really quite excited by
I've many useful facts about epidemiology

My Executive Director is the
lovely Ruth Weir Miller here
The Board and Chairmen's passion
is really quite superior
The Presidential role is not
the easiest to fulfill
(Pause - trying to think of next line, then Ahh!)
Unless that young and smart and
charming Buntzie Ellis Churchill will

Unless that young and smart and
charming Buntzie Ellis Churchill will
Unless that young and smart and
charming Buntzie Ellis Churchill will
Unless that young and smart and
charming Buntzie Ellis Churchill will

As President I tried to make the Council
a place where it's at
By hosting foreign dignitaries'
ambassadors and diplomats
In short, on matters topical,
vital and political
I am your former President of
the World Affairs Council

In short, on matters topical,
vital and political
He is your former President of
the World Affairs Council

POWER IS A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND
To the tune of 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend'
**Margaret Thatcher and Buntzie**

The French think gals are made for love
They're content to be called "belle femme"
But I prefer the title that starts
With initials PM

A duchess or countess can be continental
But Power is a girl's best friend

A lordship is grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or influence some diplomat

Men grow cold as ladies grow bold
They can't handle wily women
Outdated or shell shocked
These boys should grow bollocks
Power is a girl's best friend

Gorbachev... please
Deng Xiaoping...easy
Falklands...
Northlands...
Talk to me, Ronnie Reagan, tell me all about it!

There may come a time when you shake up your party
Then Power is a girl's best friend
There may come a man who thinks he's a big smarty
By challenging you
But his votes are few and so he's through

You're the pie when polls are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that news writers become your back biters
Power is a girl's best friend

I've known lots of gals who are quite influential
Cause Power is a girl's best friend
Their status and sway are not coincidental
They use their minds, instead of breasts and their behinds

Time rolls on, your positions are gone
We all get the boot in the end
But bad press or bad spleen
I had more power than the Queen

Power...
Ohhh Power...

Power, is a Girl's Best Friend

His reign of Spain we plainly should maintain.
I think she gets it. I think she gets it
His reign of Spain we plainly should maintain
By George she gets it. By George she gets it.
Now once again... where's this reign?

And what should we do with Spain?

All: The reign of Spain we plainly should maintain
The reign of Spain we plainly should maintain!

FIRST TRIP TO CHINA
To the tune of 'On a Slow Boat to China'
**Buntzie with Council travelers**

I'm gonna take you
on your first trip to China
Far, far away from home
Guide you and teach you on the country and more
Leave all your neighbors
Sun burnt on the Avalon shore

Forgot to change my dollars, from dollars to yuan.

Over the high seas
I don't like to fly...
To the land of rice and lychees,
Not even in the concord?
and a Great Wall of stone.
Come on, what do you say?
OK, we're on our way.

We're all going
on our first trip to China,
all by ourselves...
Got our pass-ports.
And now it's time to go!
