During the last election, we had a good [G] deal of fun back East following your senatorial contest out here.
[N]
I'm from Massachusetts and I feel we have a certain right to gloat over the other states because Massachusetts is, after all, the only state with three senators.
Anyway, here's a salute to your new junior [D] senator.
[G] [Eb] Hollywood's often tried to mix [G] show [E] business with politics.
[A] From Helen Gahagan to Ronald [D] Reagan.
[C] But Mr.
Murphy is [G] the star [A]
who's done the best [D] by far.
Oh, gee, [G] it's great.
[Gm] At last [Ab] we've got a senator [A] who can really sing and dance.
[D]
We can't expect America [G] to win against [E] its foes [Db] with no one in the Senate who can [Eb] really tap his [D] toes.
The [G] movies [E] that you've seen [A] on your television [D] screen [G] show his [C] legislative [B] talents at a glance.
[E] Should Americans pick crops?
[Db] George says no.
[D] Because no one but a Mexican [G] would stoop so low.
[C] And after all, even in [G] Egypt, the [E] pharaohs had [Em] to import Hebrew [D] braceros.
[Gb] [E] Think of all the musicals [A] we have in store.
[D] Imagine Broadway [G] Melody of [C] 1984.
Yes, now that he's a senator, [G] he's really [E] got the chance [Am] to give the public [D] a song and [B] dance.
