The ballad of gary hart

The ballad of gary hart Lyrics

Who's that running down the alley

In the dark of Friday night


As he zippers up his trousers

In the inky slinky light


Why, of course, it's good old Gary

Leaping over someone's fence

Yes, it's good old Gary Hart

I wouldn't keep you in suspense


He likes going out to parties

He likes being a rolling stone


And he ran things for McGovern

So I guess we should have known


He likes warm and willing women

He likes being where they are

He couldn't sing, he couldn't dance

But he just had to be a star


So he went into the Politics Game

Yes, he went into the politics game

Warren Beatty told him "looky"

You can get a lot of nookie

If you get into the politics game


When he made it to the Senate

Gary started making hay


Gary started making nearly

Everything that came his way


He liked taking a position

But when all is said and done

Gary's favorite position

Was the missionary one


Jimmy Dean was Gary's hero

And he studied him with care


How he stood and how he walked

And even how he wore his hair


But the thing that moved him most

And made him swear he'd never fail

If he made it to the White House

Think of all the chicks he'd nail


So he went into the Politics Game

Yes, he went into the politics game

Warren Beatty told him "looky"

You can get a lot of nookie

If you get into the politics game


Well, he met her at a party

And her name was Donna Rice


She was Gary's kind of woman

She was pure "Miami Vice"


She thought he was Gary Collins

And could get her on TV

She suggested monkey business

And the rest is history


When they caught him makin' whooppee

And the campaign had to cease


Gary went into seclusion

He just had to find some peace


He's been out in Colorado

Since, I can't remember when

But he must be gettin' horny

'Cause he's runnin' once again


So he's running into the Politics Game

Yes, he's running into the politics game

Warren Beatty told him "looky"

You can get a lot of nookie

If you get into the politics game
