Senate Seat for Sale

Senate Seat for Sale - (sung to the tune of Love For Sale by Billie Holiday, Cole Porter)

When the only sound in the empty seat,
Is the beeping voicemail of the occasional visitor
That belonged to an out-of-town Barack,
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That his smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.

Senate seat for sale,
Pay to play, Senate seat for sale.
Powerful job that's still unspoiled,
A Position that's only slightly soiled,
Senate Seat for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Senate seat for sale
Let the poets pipe of power
in their childish way,
I know every type of power
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of D.C.,
I've been through the mill of Chicago;
I'm unaware, he's unaware
Unelected but just as real
Senate seat for sale.

Pay to play, Senate seat for sale.
Powerful job that's still unspoiled.
Follow me and climb the Lincoln stairs
Senate seat for sale.
Senate seat for sale.
