George Murphy
Tom Lehrer
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 American's 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
Just 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
