Vote For Me!

Vote For Me – you know it makes sense

I’ll scale every wall and climb every fence

I’ll swim every moat and fight every foe

I’ll take on your fears and lay them all low

There’s no noble deed that I wouldn’t do

And, needless to say, you know it’s all true

Vote For Me – I’m pure as the snow

When temptation comes I always say No

My record is free of sordid affair

In skeleton terms my cupboard is bare

My years behind bars stand proudly at nought

Well, let’s just say that I’ve never been caught

Vote For Me – the other lot’s worse

None to be found in the whole universe

They’re cads and they’re rotters – not very nice

Murder your granny? They wouldn’t think twice

They’ll take all your cash and land you in debt

Which I wouldn’t do, so never you fret

Vote For Me – the obvious choice

Loudly express your political voice

Turn out in numbers and give me your Yes

What I’ll do with it is anyone’s guess

When I’m in office what good will I do?

Frankly, dear voters, I haven’t a clue.
