If you can
Raise the flag and wave her
Never grant a favor
Smile and tell 'em maybe
Always kiss the baby
Give the kid a locket
Out of daddies pocket
Have him thank you for the crime
My friends the practice you're indulging in is politics
Yes it's politics, simply politics
You pay a fella seven dollars and he kicks back six
You're in politics every time
If you can
Please the big employers
And the workers lawyers
Keep 'em busy fighting, while the fish are biting
Don't improve conditions
Cept for politicians
Then demand a little peace
My boy the papers have a name for it, it's politics,
Yes, it's politics
Filthy politics
If you can treat the general public like a bunch of hicks
You're in politics, yes siree
You must be, either high or lofty
Or a regular softy
Smart administrator
Or a second-grader
Stern and superhuman
Or like Harry Truman
Then you'll really make it pay
The occupation that's designed for you is politics
Often called the fix
But it's politics
If you can mingle with the Dutchmen and the Irish micks
You're in politics, what the hay
You spell it p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s
My platform
Is a chicken for every pot!
That's politics what the hey!
Raise the flag and wave her
Never grant a favor
Smile and tell 'em maybe
Always kiss the baby
Give the kid a locket
Out of daddies pocket
Have him thank you for the crime
My friends the practice you're indulging in is politics
Yes it's politics, simply politics
You pay a fella seven dollars and he kicks back six
You're in politics every time
If you can
Please the big employers
And the workers lawyers
Keep 'em busy fighting, while the fish are biting
Don't improve conditions
Cept for politicians
Then demand a little peace
My boy the papers have a name for it, it's politics,
Yes, it's politics
Filthy politics
If you can treat the general public like a bunch of hicks
You're in politics, yes siree
You must be, either high or lofty
Or a regular softy
Smart administrator
Or a second-grader

Or like Harry Truman
Then you'll really make it pay
The occupation that's designed for you is politics

You're in politics, what the hay
You spell it p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s
My platform
Is a chicken for every pot!
That's politics what the hey!
