A pat on the back can be quite complimental, But lobbies are a pol's best friend. A pat's not enough To be that instrumental Who will get the bridge, Or hire incompetents like Ridge? Perks go 'way As we lose sway For we all get DeLayed in the end, But compliment'ry high jinks? Compensatory spouse minks? Lobbies are a pol's best friend. There will come a time when a pol needs a lawyer, When lobbies are a pol's best friend. That could be the time When he needs a new employer, Who'll appreciate Funds we misappropriate. He will see Incumbency Depends upon upon how much we spend. That when our votes for judges Trigger voter grudges, Lobbies are a pol's best friend.
