How Do You Say “Lying Idiot” po-russki?

Via Ginger at The Hackenblog comes this little tale of
the awesome super-competence of our Secretary of State, Condo-lies-a-lot Rice.
Let’s ask Our Miz Condi to join us in a chorus of a little ditty that’s known and loved by Russian language students the world over:

[sung to the tune of Frere Jacque]

Я не знаю
Я не знаю

Ничево
Ничево

Ничево не знаю
Ничево не знаю

Хорошо!
Хорошо!

??

Ok, let’s sing it in Russian, phonetically!:

["znay" rhymes with "eye", by the way]

Ya nee znay-oo
Ya nee znay-oo

Nee-chee-voh
Nee-chee-voh

Nee chee voh nee znay-oo
Nee chee voh nee znay-oo

Hah-rah-sho!
Hah-rah-sho!

And now, in English:

[translated freely, to make it scan better]

I know nothing
I know nothing

Nothing at all
Nothing at all

Nothing do I know
Nothing do I know

Very good!
Very good!
