Letra The ballad of gary hart John Denver

The ballad of gary hart

Who's that running down the alley
In the dark of Friday night
As he zippers up his trousers
In the inky slinky light
Why, of course, it's good old Gary
Leaping over someone's fence
Yes, it's good old Gary Hart
I wouldn't keep you in suspense
He likes going out to parties
He likes being a rolling stone
And he ran things for McGovern
So I guess we should have known
He likes warm and willing women
He likes being where they are
He couldn't sing, he couldn't dance
But he just had to be a star
So he went into the Politics Game
Yes, he went into the politics game
Warren Beatty told him "looky"
You can get a lot of nookie
If you get into the politics game
When he made it to the Senate
Gary started making hay
Gary started making nearly
Everything that came his way
He liked taking a position
But when all is said and done
Gary's favorite position
Was the missionary one
Jimmy Dean was Gary's hero
And he studied him with care
How he stood and how he walked
And even how he wore his hair
But the thing that moved him most
And made him swear he'd never fail
If he made it to the White House
Think of all the chicks he'd nail
So he went into the Politics Game
Yes, he went into the politics game
Warren Beatty told him "looky"
You can get a lot of nookie
If you get into the politics game
Well, he met her at a party
And her name was Donna Rice
She was Gary's kind of woman
She was pure "Miami Vice"
She thought he was Gary Collins
And could get her on TV
She suggested monkey business
And the rest is history
When they caught him makin' whooppee
And the campaign had to cease
Gary went into seclusion
He just had to find some peace
He's been out in Colorado
Since, I can't remember when
But he must be gettin' horny
'Cause he's runnin' once again
So he's running into the Politics Game
Yes, he's running into the politics game
Warren Beatty told him "looky"
You can get a lot of nookie
If you get into the politics game
