lyrics
Dear Mr. Richard Brown,
bright star of all the Senate,
this letter makes me frown,
and I feel pained to pen it;
I know you're sweet of tongue,
damn smart, and even richer,
but that girl? Oh, too young!
I had to take a picture.
Senator Richard Brown,
you bouncy little bunny!
I'll spread it over town
if I don't see some money.
The press will find it funny
how tight she held that whip—
and your pubescent honey
won't get her scholarship.
It isn't just one shot;
I have at least a dozen.
I like your girls a lot,
especially your cousin.
In one, the first I'll show,
your head looks like a pumpkin.
Shouldn't the voters know
how you enjoy a rendez-vous?
Senator Richard Brown,
fire whoever disguised you!
You look good in a gown,
but still, I recognized you.
I see they circumcized you?
Should have lopped off the rest!
One million is the prize due;
next Thursday would be best.
Dear young constituent,
I see you'd like to burn me,
but your malign intent
frankly does not concern me.
Yeah, you dug up some dung;
it won't be my undoing.
Who'll notice this among
ten bigger scandals brewing?
Senator Richard Brown
won't lightly kick the bucket,
and he will not go down.
However hard you chuck it,
Dick Brown can prob'ly duck it.
Come on: I run this town,
so make like corn and shuck it,
sincerely, Richard Brown,
your senator.
