Politician's Parade

WAH! Well, gather round, hear the tale so fine About a leader dancin' in the scandal line He promised the moon stars in every pie But his pockets got fat while we got squat Drives a shiny ride, gold chains round his neck Talks big game, but it's all a wreck Says he'll fix the roads, but the money vanishes What did he do? Wink and a grin, waves from his throne While we hustle daily, breakin' our bones Oh, Calypso King, what a funny show Stealin' the spotlight, stealin' the dough Dance with the devil, laugh all night long Hey! Past the roof, scandals, the rhythm beat goes bum-bum Girlfriend on the side, scandal in the press Photos in the paper what a hot mess He swears it's all lies but the cash trail Leads back to his town daily grind for us For the bread he swore would be mine He throws a big party politicians parade Sing this song Hey! What a joke Hey! Past the room, scandals, the rhythm beat goes bum-bum One day we'll wake, shake off the trance Call out the thief in the carnival dance No more sweet talk, no more empty cheer Time for the truth loud and clear So here's to the joker ridin' high and slight No more sweet talk, no more empty cheer Time for the truth, time for the truth What a joke Hey! Hey! Sing it strong, scandals over, the party's gone Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Hey! What a joke Hey! Sing it strong, scandals, the rhythm beat goes bum-bum Hey! What a joke Hey! Past the room, beat goes bum-bum
