What A Friend We Have in Rhoda!
(Sung, fervently, to: What a Friend We Have in Jesus)

What a friend we have in Rhoda
What a leader! What a boss!
Giving twice what is required,
Double talk and double-cross
See her gang of toadies 'round her
Grabbing all that they can take,
See her march out on her mission
Upright, straight as any snake

cho:
What a friend we have in Rhoda!
Any fool can plainly see
When you have a friend like Rhoda
You don't need an enemy

Mouthing liberal convictions,
Tho' of principles bereft,
She's politically dyslexic
Veering right while speaking left
Loyal supporters, faithful comrades
She leaves bleeding in the dust,
As she charges madly onward
Seeking unions she can bust

cho:

Just to scratch her itch for power,
She is toiling, night and day,
Giving old Consumers Union
Brand-new, shiny feet of clay
The poor and homeless have her weeping
Tears like any crocodile,
Don't expect that help's forthcoming
That just isn't Rhoda's style

cho:
Note: A song that arose from a recent, but bitter, labor dispute
in which Rhoda H Karpatkin, Executive Director of formerly-
liberal, formerly pro-Labor Consumers Union did a pretty fair jo
of union-busting This odd situation created the odder one of seeing
Consumers Union make the AFL/CIO boycott list twice in four years
