lyrics

Babbitt for President
Words and Music by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2014

Elect Babbitt for president, he's the one.
A man of means, he'll get things done.
Yes, Babbitt's your man, have no fear
Of the rich and famous, he has their ear.

Select Babbitt to lead, in this time of need.
He'll war for peace, the poor he'll feed.
Yes, Babbitt is brave, with roads he'll pave
America, he'll spend to save.

Babbitt for president
Our most esteemed resident
It seems self-evident
To vote Babbitt for president.

Reject Babbitt for president, at your peril.
Want pork on your plate, he's got a barrel.
Yes, Babbitt's the guy, of promise and wish
For better times, and bigger fish.

Expect Babbitt to run, when the going is tough.
Responsible Babbitt, knows when to bluff.
Yes, Babbitt's the fellow, we need to top
The political pile, of rank and fop.

Inspired by the United States political system, which seems to depend on status, wealth and influence rather than "truth, justice and the American way." This track was written in 2008.
