Chuck Grassley, Politicizer
(Is he from Idaho or Iowa?)

If the Boston killer only knew Senator Grassley,
Chuck's political influence might get the kid off the hook.
He would politicize young what's-his-name.
Might even get him downgraded from killer to crook.

You never know what politicians can accomplish
Especially from powerful states such as Idaho
Chuck can prob'ly pull strings so the kid can buy guns
Just by mentioning Chuck's name, a handshake and "Hello".

If Leahy complains, just mention Chuck Grassley's name
To Eric Holder, who'll be impressed.
Political influence is Eric's metier
It did wonders for Gulliver and all the rest.

But don't just mention Grassley
Who Holder may or maybe not know.
Say he's a farmer who raises cows, chickens and corn,
And it couldn't hurt to say he's from Idaho.
