Vote McGovern 1972
by Andy Warhol
In 1969, our boy Richard Nixon died
“Oh Mike, you must be mistaken.” You’re thinking inside
But nay! Nixon, had a head on collision
In his President’s limo cause by the car driver’s bad vision
But the sun roof was open and old Nixon got snagged
Popped his head clean off and into his bag
His men did scramble to get him some aid
They thought of one name, but they were all too afraid
"Old Dr. Andy Warhol, he’ll know what to do
I heard he re-animated a thing or two”
So they took in the head, and the body came next
and begged mr. warhol to "at least try his best!”
So they showed him their goods, and from what he could tell
“That bodies too old” Andy said, “it’s beginning to smell
Come to the pantry, I'll see what I’ve got”
So he looked through his bodies that hadn’t begun to rot
“Here’s a fresh one! His name’s Brian Jones.
He’ll have the head of old Nixon, and a body from the Rolling Stones"
So he jammed on the head, a staple in back, a staple up front
He began to speak! About politics and that you can’t always get what you want
A little more stapling, the job was complete
They loosened the straps, he stood to his feet!
A look to his left, a look to his right
He walked to the car, and got on with a presidents life
Come time for reelection in 1972
Nixon policies stunk, and Andy knew what to do
He grabbed his brush and an old photo he took
Painted Nixons face green, with it’s menacing look
to tell the world of this monster, that he had created
But Nixon fought on, he toured and debated
So Andy then planned to throw the party of the year
To inform everyone of the monster we’ve got here
"My new club in Soho, it’s called “Watergate”
We’ll all meet up there, try not to be late!"
Soon Nixon got word, it traveled quite quickly
He knew of the party, of his face looking sickly
He sent out his men, to bug up the place
“Do it quickly, and don’t leave a trace!”
So they did what he said, at their speediest pace
Only noticing the name on this space
Not taking note of the address on the building
With Nixon’s new handwriting, the map was confusing
Now, if you think about all of the coming events
that we all know from the history of our governments
The cases, the questions, recordings and lying
All leading up to old Nixon resigning
It’s safe to say Andy won their game
of who could cause the other party the most shame
Quickly ending the rein of old Nixon
It seemed that this monster, was AGAIN, in need of some fixin
