Public Comment Man
(Lyrics by Chris Daly)
CHRIS:
It's two o'clock on a Tuesday
The regular crowd shuffles in
Campos and Avalos are standing next to me
Hoping their legislation will win.
They say, "Chris, can you talk to Mirkarimi
We're not really sure we've got the votes
But this ordinance is sweet and you know it's complete
We've got downtown by their throats."
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Chorus (CHRIS):
Sing us a song you're public comment man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us all feeling all right!
WALTER:
Now Deputy Doug is a friend of mine
He saves a spot on line for me
And he's quick with a joke; Axis fills the room up with smoke
But on a bigger stage we both should be.
He says, "Walter, you're a local celebrity."
As a smile fills up his face
"Well we're both City Hall superstars
We've got the run of this place."
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
CHRIS:
Now Sean is a real estate apologist
Who's now with kid and a wife
And he's talkin' with Bevan, who's campaign ain't revvin'
And probably won't be for life.
And David Chiu is testing the politics
As the agenda slowly winds on
Eric Mar is posting to Facebook
Multi-tasking is better than none.
Chorus (CHRIS and WALTER):
Sing us a song you're public comment man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us all feeling all right!
WALTER:
It's a pretty good crowd for a Tuesday
And the Clerk, she gives me a smile
'Cause she knows that it's me they've been waiting to see
To forget about the meeting for awhile.
And Abdullah sounds like a thunderclap
And the Jesus guy smells of pure fear
As they fill up the place, Supervisors stare into space
And say, "Walter, thank goodness you're here!"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Chorus (CHRIS and WALTER):
Sing us a song you're public comment man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us all feeling all right!
