Jimmy Buffett For President - Andy Budd (ASCAP)

I think beer should be served at thirty-four degrees / I think only girls should drink banana daiquiris / And I think the White House needs a change of resident / I think Jimmy Buffet oughta run for Pres....i...dent

Politics as usual will come to a standstill / When we run all them hypocrites right off of Capital Hill / And replace 'em all with folks who have a "License To chill" / Hell, we'll even rename Washington, "Margaritaville"

SO COME ON ALL YOU PARROT HEADS, SHOW YOUR DISCONTENT / WITH THE CURRENT CROP OF IDIOTS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT / EXERCISE YOUR VOTE IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS / FINS-UP EVERY-BODY JIMMY BUFFETT FOR PRES-I-DENT!!!!! ( WHOO HOOO!!!!!)

Inauguration Day will be just like Mardi Gras / We'll be drinking margaritas out there on The White House lawn. / Singin' "Songs You Know By Heart" in perfect harmony / Hell, we'll make the Coral Reefer Band the National Symphony

SO COME ON ALL YOU PARROT HEADS, SHOW YOUR DISCONTENT / WITH THE CURRENT CROP OF IDIOTS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT / EXERCISE YOUR VOTE IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS / FINS-UP EVERY-BODY JIMMY BUFFETT FOR PRES-I-DENT!!!!! ( WHOO HOOO!!!!!)

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES'

Too Proud To Whitewash - Too Poor To Paint by Andy Budd (ASCAP)

He's got three kids in private school, 2 Beemers in the drive / And fifteen different credit cards, that keep the dream alive / In his cookie cutter mansion, with an interest only loan / Burnin' the midnight oil, tryin' to keep up with the Jones. / He's goin' broke in style, makin' a hundred grand a year / His neighbor's findin' out the truth, that's his greatest fear

HE'S WORKIN EVERY ANGLE TRYIN TO KEEP THE WOLVES AT BAY / AIN'T FOOLING NO ONE BUT HIS SELF IN A STUPID SORTA WAY / HE'S ALL HAT NO CATTLE, TRYIN' TO BE SOME ONE HE AIN'T / TOO PROUD TO WHITEWASH AND TOO POOR TO PAINT

He's keepin up appearances, but drowning in debt / Like walkin' a high wire, without a safety net / Everyday another wolf comes scratchin on the door / The sound is gettin' louder and harder to ignore. / Every night he gets down on his knees to pray / Lord, help me, Jesus, get me through another day

HE'S WORKIN EVERY ANGLE TRYIN TO KEEP THE WOLVES AT BAY / AIN'T FOOLING NO ONE BUT HIS SELF IN A STUPID SORTA WAY / HE'S ALL HAT NO CATTLE, TRYIN' TO BE SOME ONE HE AIN'T / TOO PROUD TO WHITEWASH AND TOO POOR TO PAINT

He's in over his head Lord what's was he tryin to prove / It's just a matter of time 'fore the whole thing comes unglued / He's been flyin' so high he couldn't see the ground / And this house of cards he's livin' in will soon come crashing down / And then maybe he'll wake up and come to realize / that happiness and peace of mind is somethin' you can't buy

HE'S WORKIN EVERY ANGLE TRYIN TO KEEP THE WOLVES AT BAY / AIN'T FOOLING NO ONE BUT HIS SELF IN A STUPID SORTA WAY / HE'S ALL HAT NO CATTLE, TRYIN' TO BE SOME ONE HE AIN'T / TOO PROUD TO WHITEWASH AND TOO POOR TO PAINT

HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU BY ANDY BUDD

I was shopping for a new car... You know, kicking tires and such, / I thought maybe' a little sports car, or one of them Silverado Trucks / I was a minnow in a shark tank and the salesman knew it too / Man, I shoulda run when he said, son, Have I got a deal for you!

He said look at this little minivan, it's been in stock too long / The boss would like to move it so you can get 'er for a song / It won't do much for your image, it ain't got no sex appeal / But it ain't like you're a ladies man, and wait 'til you see the deal.

HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU / THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY WHEN THEY'RE TRYIN' TO SELL YOU SOMETHING YOU CAN'T USE / TURN AROUND AND RUNAWAY / IF YOU EVER HEAR SOMEBODY SAY / HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU

When I was looking for a new house, had this lady show me around / I was looking for a little 3 bedroom ranch, on little piece of ground / She was asking lots of questions, I got that sense of dAcjA  vu / Man, I shoulda run when she said, son, Have I got a deal for you!

It's a little fixer upper, on the other side of town / It needs a little T.L.C., but it's No money down / Yeah it was a fixer-upper alright, on the other side of the tracks / I've been fixin' it up for 13 years - it's still a run-down shack

HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU / YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR / IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE / TURN AROUND AND RUNAWAY / IF YOU EVER HEAR SOMEBODY SAY / HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU

Out on the town the other night, looking for some company / When I spotted this hot little blue eyed blond, making eyes at me / I went over to introduce myself with a little howdy-do / I shoulda run when she said, son, Have I got a deal for you!

She said, this is my Sylvia, she really thinks your cute / She'd been beat with an ugly stick, and it was clear that I'd been duped / Well, they say "go ugly early", so I said, "Sylvie, I'm your man" / And it's kinda funny now, but she shot me down, when she saw that mini-van
