If You Love That Politician

(앨범: One Million Lawyers And Other Disasters - 1985)

Someone had the right idea out in Iowa
Palo Alto County had its own straw poll
Folks who listened to their radio
Were told to flush their toilets so
Their candidate might win the Super Bowl
Folks in Emmetsburg have got things in perspective
And good common sense that they rely upon
When the beaming smiles and golden throats
Come shaking hands and begging votes
The folks in Emmetsburg head for the john
If you love that politician, pull the chain
Send the world of woe and trouble down the drain
It's the road to satisfaction
It's a natural reaction
If you love that politician, pull the chain
If you like the things he said, use your head
You can show the world you think he's thoroughbred
Choose a favourite son or daughter
With a little running water
If you like the things he said, use your head
Ah, do you get that familiar feeling
When you hear the things they say
When they hum their familiar tunes
Do your thoughts all turn to prunes
Are you headed for Hernando's Hideaway
If the man gets through to you, use your loo
If he's not number one, he's number two
He's the greatest guy on earth
Why don't you show him what he's worth
If the man gets through to you, use your loo
Ah, do you get that familiar feeling
When you hear the things they say
When they hum their familiar tunes
Do your thoughts all turn to prunes
Are you headed for Hernando's Hideaway
If you love that politician, pull the chain (pull the chain)
Send the world of woe and trouble down the drain
It's the road to satisfaction
It's a natural reaction
If you love that politician, pull the chain
When you see the ruling gentry
Why, the answer's alimentary
If you love that politician, pull the chain
When you see the ruling gentry
Well the answer's elementary
If you love that politician, pull the chain
