Lyrics

[Verse] Dear Mr. P.D., I'd like to introduce me If I do say so, in fact, that's why I'm writing I would be the partner of your dreams We're in the same business, you see You're just a little more successful than me But one always knows when they say So I just did it to you straight I had a little trouble gettin' started along the way But it's all cooled out, I was paroled yesterday Money handlin' and high finances is my meat Big time contracts and favor seekers is one of my specialties From first hand experience, I know еvery greedy quirk How about makin' me the commissionеr of public works? I just see myself head of public works Actually, it's not half good enough of what I'm really worth I know you know human nature, you know The more you eat, the more you get hungry? So I'm gonna leave it to your big heart to fix my salary Distortin' what people say is my favorite brand of humor And I don't know the difference between Gospel fact and the wildest rumor By nature, I'm a nosy sneak, and I always hated commie Don't you think I'd be perfect for the secret police? Can't you see yours truly as head pig, as the hippies would say? Loyalty, law and order, and petroleum would rule the day Prisons would be full of irresponsible newsmen And catholic traitors We'd have televised public service firing squads Many of my brothers who wanted to be black agitators I agree with you, right, but, I'm not so wrong The lazy and the shiftless They been ridin' the gravy train too long You're the master at keepin' the unwashed in hand But I try hard, 'cause I'm only second qualified in the land I have no qualms about leavin' supporters on the limp And I can overshoot a budget with the best of them And siphoning off money is an old habit You know, you should maybe Make me a minister of your cabinet Since the prison doctor fixed my teeth I got a smile like you wouldn't believe I've only skimmed my credentials, but I'm sure you'll agree That after yourself, I'm the perfect ideal nominee I can never hope to fill your place I only suggest myself since they tell me you won't race Dogs love me, plus I never kept a promise as I can remember And sure to see, I'm the perfect candi-titorial Tim
