Hollywood's often tried to mix

Show business with politics

From Helen Gahagan

To Ronald Reagan?

But Mr. Murphy is the star

Who's done the best by far

Oh, gee, it's great!

At last we've got a senator who can really sing and dance

We can't expect America to win against its foes

With no one in the Senate who can really tap his toes

The movies that you've seen

On your television screen

Show his legislative talents at a glance

Should Americans pick crops? George says: "No!"

'Cause no one but a Mexican would stoop so low

And after all, even in Egypt, the pharaohs

Had to import Hebrew braceros

Think of all the musicals we have in store

Imagine: Broadway Melody of Nineteen Eighty-Four

Yes, now that he's a Senator, he's really got the chance

To give the public a song and dance!
