( Political lobbyist song lyrics )
LET ME BUY YOU BREAKFAST
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

    LET ME BUY YOU BREAKFAST.
    LET ME BUY YOU lunch.
    LET ME let YOU tell me how
    You'll help my campaign crunch.
    LET ME BUY YOU dinner.
    Let's smoke some fat cigars.
    Then tell me what I can do for you
    & what your special interests are.

It's a power breakfast. We'll get a jump- on the world.
We'll wheel and deal, laying out- our schpiels
as the morning starts to unfurl.
It's a power breakfast. It doesn't matter what you eat.
We couldn't care 'bout the nutrients there.
But what matters is who you meet.

    CHORUS

It's a power luncheon, a beautiful- lush buffet.
We'll all pig out, adding to- our gout,
as we see what we have to trade.
It's a power luncheon, a power broker's salad bar.
We'll swell and bulge as we overindulge
like the fat- cats that we are.

    CHORUS

        I just happen to be in a race
        where I might be replaced
        by some one unsympathetic to your needs.
        I might happen to be in a place
        (if the funds can't be traced)
        where I could pull some strings
        and manipulate things,
        where some favors are owed
        from way back down the road
        that might just do the trick in helping you succeed.

It's a power dinner. I'm glad that we've- come to terms.
What you donate, I appre-ciate.
Only glad to help your concerns.
It's a power dinner. I'm picking up- all the check.
It's all for you. It's the least I can do.
Won't be long 'til you scratch my back.

    CHORUS

Treating political lobbyists to breakfast
has become the going trend among politicians.
