George Murphy Lyrics

Hollywood's often tried to mix
Show business with politics,
>From Helen Gahagan
To Ronald Reagan,
But Mister Murphy is the star
That's done the best by far.

Oh gee, it's great,
At last we have a Senator who can
Really sing and dance!
We can't expect America
To win against its foes
With no one in the Senate who
Can really tap his toes.

The movies that you've seen
On your television screen
Show his legislative talents at a glance.
Should Americans pick crops? George says "No,"
'Cause no one but a Mexican would stoop so low.
And after all, even in Egypt, the pharaohs
Had to import
Hebrew braceros.

Think of all the musicals we have in store.
Imagine: "Broadway Melody of Nineteen Eighty-Four."
Yes, now that he's a Senator, he's really got the chance
To give the public
A song and dance!
