George Murphy

During the last election we had a good deal of fun back east following your senatorial contest out here. i'm from massachusetts and i feel we have a certain right to gloat over the other states

Se massachusetts is after all the only state with three senators. anyway, here's a salute to your new junior senator.



Hollywood's often tried to mix

Show business with politics,

From helen gahagan

To ronald reagan,

But mister murphy is the star

Who's done the best by far.



Oh gee, it's great,

At last we've got 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 1984.

Yes, now that he's a senator, he's really got the chance

To give the public

A song and dance!
