Prohibition is over, but the country's still a mess!
They need us out there!
We've got some cleaning up to do -- especially when it comes to

They're back -- they're fashionable again!
Okay -- let's look at some mug-sheets
of the suspects from the 80's . . .
ADMIRAL POINDEXTER! Get back on "Felix The Cat" where you belong!
Get the damn pipe out of your mouth!
You're history, you're gone!
OLIVER NORTH! No "Secret Government" for you, buddy!
You're over! you're trough!
BILL CASEY! You're dead!
(I mean that . . . )

You're anyway out in the way, buddy
You're history -- you're meat -- you're through!
You're vapor -- you're baloney without the mayo, buddy!
You're outta here -- In fact, it's Robin Leach instead!
