There s No Governor Like Our New Governor lyrics
(based on "There s No Business Like Show Business")
The man I chose to govern me
And twenty million others
Is not from Yale or Harvard,
He s from dear old Warner Brothers.
Yesterday they told him he would not go far,
Today in our state capitol we ve stuck a movie star.
There s no governor like our new governor,
He sings, he dances, he acts.
He legislates our cares away,
We stand in line to pay our income tax.
There s no capitol like our state capitol,
It s lit up like Broadway.
And where our state house used to be,
They ve got a big marquee that seems to say
He s a star, and he s thrilling,
And he s humble, and he s great!
And his agent said he was willing
To give equal billing to the name of our state.
It s in his contract.
There s no governor like our new governor,
He smiles when we are low.
(The governor of Michigan s a real nice Joe)
But no one s ever seen him on the late late show.
(There s governors all over who have college degrees)
Ah, but have they got their footprints down at Grauman s Chinese?
(There s governors all over in the newsreel pics)
Ah, but were they in "Gold Diggers of 1936"?
(There s no governor like our new governor)
Stupendous, colossal, gee whiz!
And if our state s a turkey and it fades away,
Our new governor s gonna say,
"Movie fans, we re all seceding from the USA!"
Well, that s show biz!
