Allan Sherman - There's No Governor Like Our New Governer… lyrics

rate me

Based on "There's No Business Like Show Business") <br />

The man I chose to govern me<br />

And twenty million others<br />

Is not from Yale or Harvard,<br />

He's from dear old Warner Brothers. <br />

Yesterday they told him he would not go far,<br />

Today in our state capitol we've stuck a movie star. <br />

There's no governor like our new governor,<br />

He sings, he dances, he acts.<br />

He legislates our cares away,<br />

We stand in line to pay our income tax. <br />

There's no capitol like our state capitol,<br />

It's lit up like Broadway.<br />

And where our state house used to be,<br />

They've got a big marquee that seems to say <br />

He's a star, and he's thrilling,<br />

And he's humble, and he's great!<br />

And his agent said he was willing<br />

To give equal billing to the name of our state.<br />

It's in his contract. <br />

There's no governor like our new governor,<br />

He smiles when we are low.<br />

(The governor of Michigan's a real nice Joe)<br />

But no one's ever seen him on the late late show.<br />

(There's governors all over who have college degrees)<br />

Ah, but have they got their footprints down at Grauman's Chinese?<br />

(There's governors all over in the newsreel pics)<br />

Ah, but were they in "Gold Diggers of 1936"? <br />

(There's no governor like our new governor)<br />

Stupendous, colossal, gee whiz!<br />

And if our state's a turkey and it fades away,<br />

Our new governor's gonna say,<br />

"Movie fans, we're all seceding from the USA!"<br />

Well, that's show biz! <br />
