Were the mothers of invention ahead of their time at least in the case of agency man
Written in 1967
About ronald reagan running for president
Since bill casey was reagan campaign manager
Later became head of the cia the idea of a political sales pitch emanating from an agency man takes on a whole new dimension
Sell us a president agency man
Smiling big brother stern father perhaps
Sell us a president agency man
A gay
Smiling up we know never craps
Let's try california
Pay us first before we do it
We get a smilin nazi
March him right on through
Wham a baby
Kiss a baby
Ladies in for tea
And heres a bunch of speeches
Well toss em in for free
Sell us a president agency man
Smiling big brother stern father perhaps
Sell us a president agency man
A gay
Smiling up we know never craps
Well sell him in the movies
On the tube throughout the year
Well sell him by the bucket
To the okies drinking beer
Well teach him how to walk and talk
Well putty up his chin
Well print his picture everywhere
Of course the shmuck will win
From the heart of death valley
To the ruling of our land
A simple trick you simple pig
Its just the way we planned
