There's No Governor Like Our New Governor

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!
