leaping over someone's fence

I wouldn't leave you in suspense

Help me sing it now.

When he landed in the Senate,
Ab

Gary started making hay.
Ab
Gary started making nearly everything
Gb
Db
That came his way.
He liked taking a position,

but when all was said and done,
Ab
Gary's fa vorite position

was the missionary one.
Kennedy was Gary's hero

and he studied him with care,

how he stood and how he walked
Gb
Db

But the thing that thrilled him
most

him making whoopie

Thank you. There was an interview at that time in the paper with Gary
Hart's campaign manager was asked for his reaction to the song
Gb
and he felt the song was in poor
Cbm
Db
taste.

Compared to what I kept wondering.
Well, as I told him in the first house,
I never imagined to be
Gb
singing this song
so far from Manhattan.
Ab
I thought it was such a local issue
that it just wouldn't translate elsewhere,
Ab
you see, but how wrong I was. What happened was that my wife and I sublet an apartment
Ab
on the west side of Manhattan for a year,
and it was a neighborhood
heavily populated
Eb
by hard -charging young
couples.
The men all wore, you know,
wide red suspenders,
and the women all wore severe
three -piece suits and sneakers,
and and they made, you know,
pots and pots of money
which they spent with exquisite taste.
And the main thing was I didn't dare go
out of the house for a newspaper
for fear of being trampled
by them
on their way to the next million, you know.
And I thought, well, there's a song, and I wrote it,
and thought, as I say, that it would only be a local issue
but then as I experimented with singing
the song elsewhere
I found to my horror
that the rot had spread until by now
they infest every nook
nay every cranny of American life
with the single notable exception
they tell me of Santa Monica
California can can this
be so I asked myself
or or is it rather a case
of with just a place name change
or two we might have a Tragic ballad.
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
