Mrs. Reno
Written by Mike Florio
To the tune of Mr. Roboto, written by Dennis DeYoung

Un'uomo o una donna, Mrs. Reno, che cosa e tu?, un'uomo o una donna,
Mrs. Reno, che cosa e tu?

You’re wondering what I am (secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
Woman or deformed man (secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
With a Cubin in my hand (secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
I am the woman man,

I've got a secret,
I've been hiding,
Under my skin,
My heart is woman,
My look is man,
My brain is both,
So if you see me,
Acting strangely,
Don't be surprised,
I'm just a woman who had something,
She couldn't hide,
It kept me alive,
Now i can survive,

I'm not a woman,
With strong emotions,
I'm not what you see,
I'm here to confuse you,
And cause more problems,
And yell "vote for me!"
I'm not a woman,
I am not a man,
Forget what you know,
I'm just a woman,
Whose circumstance's went beyond her control,
Beyond my control,
We all need control,

I am the woman man(secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
Who looks just like a man,(secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
And no one else will see,(secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
My true identity,

Un'uomo o una donna, Mrs. Reno,
Uomo, donna,un'uomo o una donna, Mrs. Reno,
Uomo, donna, un'uomo o una donna, Mrs. Reno,
Un'uomo o una donna, Mrs. Reno,
A man or a woman, Mrs. Reno, what are you?,
A man or a woman, Mrs. Reno, what are you?,


The problem's plain to see,
To much publicity, i'm the attorney general,
One that doesn't know,

The time has come at last,(secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
To throw away this mask,(secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
Now every one can see,
(Secret, secret, I’ve got a secret)
My true identity,
I'm Castro, Castro, Castro,Castro

Interpretation

Janet Reno was the attorney general of the United States under president Bill Clinton. This parody suggests that she is actually Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in disguise.
