Well, now, I'm not a big politician. Hell, I don't wanna be!
Why, I wouldn't be the president, if the whole world voted for me
They say I'd have to get permission to be alone to think
Or to have to have my cognac tasted, before I could take a drink
No, no, no, no, partner, that's not the role for me to play, heh, heh, heh, no
To be watched in all of my happenings, big man, I couldn't stand that for a day. No, no!
Now, just suppose I had a girlfriend and called her and she lived 'way across the lake
Why, Congress would know the whole conversation, cause, you see, they'd have it on tape
Then they'd put me on the television, to tell the whole world my private life
Hell, I wouldn't mind the people knowing, man, but what about my wife?
No, no, no, no, partner, partner, that's not on my mind
I say, no, no, no, no, partner, being the prez is not on my mind, heh!
Cause to do four years and never private, seems to me too much like doing time, doing time
Sp: There you go! Soloing!
Now, like today, for instance, what's happening? Energy shortage and all that stuff
Why it's cheaper eating money than food right now, Dad, but you still wouldn't get enough
And now the White House telling people, when to sleep and when to play
When to eat and how to cook it, now, Dad, you think I could do it that way?
Huh! No, partner, that's not for me
No, no, no, no, partner, presidency I don't want to be, heh, heh, heh, no!
Ah, but if I run for mayor in my hometown, I want all you all to vote for me, vote for me
Hey, heh! Mayor Mayfield, wouldn't that be a gas?
Mayor in my own home town! Heh, heh, heh, heh!
I'm just playing, Your Highness. Just jiving!
