I wish I could soar like an eagle br To get me a birds eye view br Of all goings on not quite legal br All governments seem to accrue br br I wish I could work like a beaver br Politics then would be damned br Political underachievers br Forever politically banned br br I wish I could swim like a fish br Holy Mackerel! What I wouldn't do! br I'd swimming-ly cook up a dish br Of fishy political stew br br I wish I could pounce like a lion br Living my life with some pride br I'd bounce those politically lie-in' br To places they couldn't well hide br br I wish I was swift as a deer br I'd run in the coming election br Where voters could end the careers br Of incumbents needing rejection br br I wish I was more than just dreaming br Our political world's all askew br I'm just a well-wisher scheming br Who wishes his dreams could come truebr br Stanley Cooperbr br
