Get Out Of Town
(Tune: "Get Out Of Town")
Get out of town
Before it's too late for you
Get out of town
Be good to me please
Why do this harm
Don't you see our alarm
Move away where you can charm
Others with your tease
Just disappear
This city has much to do
And when you're near, I always fear,
You won't be true
The stress when we meet, knowing you cheat,
Is draining, it's getting me down
So on your mark, get set
Get out of town
Mendacity
(Tune: "Old Devil Moon")
I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins upsetting me
It's your mendacity
That is filled with your lies
It's that mendacity
In your eyes
You and your glance
Make circumstance
Too hot to handle
Fires in hell
Burning farewell
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've made yourself a mockery
Lies coming fast in twos and threes
Tainting City Hall abnormally
It's your mendacity
That has lost you my vote
It's that mendacity
You emote
Just when I hope
You're going away
Mendacity
Deep in your eyes
Tells me you'll stay
It Ain't Worth A Tooth
(Tune: "It Don't Mean A Thing")
It ain't worth a tooth
If it ain't got the truth
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
It ain't worth a tooth
If it's something uncouth
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Your credibility is all you've got
It ain't worth a tooth
If it ain't got the truth
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
Doo wah doo wah doo wah doo wah
Fly Me To The Moon
(Tune: "Fly Me To The Moon")
Fly me to the moon
Or anywhere away from here
Set me down where there's a calmer
Saner atmosphere
In other words, please resign
In other words, do the right thing
How can you expect me
To believe anything you say?
You've lost credibility
Lost context to persuade
In other words, save the city
In other words, just resign
Don't Explain
(Tune: "Don't Explain")
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
You're still my mayor
Don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain?
I believe in you still
Don't explain
You know that I support you
You'll always have my vote
All my thoughts are of you
I won't be a turncoat
Hurts to hear folks chatter
Cause they think you cheat
Right and wrong don't matter
With turncoats to defeat
Hush now, don't explain
Although you caused me pain
You're still my mayor
Don't explain
Late June
(Tune: "High Noon")
Do not forsake me, Mr. Mayor
On this important day
Do not forsake me, Mr. Mayor
Move, move along
I do not know what fate awaits you
I only know you must be brave
And you must face the truth about you
Or be a coward
A cravin' coward
Or be a coward to your grave
Or to be torn twix truth and honor
How can you not see you're a goner?
Look at that big sun move along
Nearin' late June
There'll be a recall election
It's gonna clean up this infection
Look at that big sun move along
What will you do when you're kicked out?
Do not forsake me, Mr. Mayor
You still have one chance to be brave
If you'd just sign your resignation
And save this city
Our Puddle City
And save this city from the grave
Lie To Me
(Tune: "All Of Me")
Lie to me
Come on and lie to me
Don't you see
I don't give a kumquat
Twist the facts
It makes no difference
Swing the ax
I'll always listen
Your big deeds
Just what the city needs
If it bleeds
It's not my concern
You have the smarts
To capture my heart
So come on, and lie to me!
Let's Tell A Lie
(Tune: "Let's Fall In Love")
The left does it
The right does it
Even middle of the road does it
Let's do it
Let's tell a lie
A President does it
A Senator does it
Who cares if a mere Mayor does it?
Let's do it
Let's tell a lie
Straights do it
Gays do it
Even polymorphous wannabes do it
Let's do it
Let's tell a lie
It's just when folks over there do it
Who aren't agreeing with me
Their lies run scum through it
They're not trustworthy
Like me when
I do it
I know it
I manipulate the whole of it
I own it
I am the lie
The entire songbook
