You'Ve Got To Be Carefully Bought

You’ve got to wiggle your bum Like a worm; You’ve got to land those big fish Term to term. You need to show them You’ll never stand firm, So you can be carefully bought. You deserve to be bought-- Take your share. All your colleagues are bought; It’s quite fair. Yes, demand what’s your due; Who’ll glean a clue As long as you’re carefully bought? You’d better grab the dough While you can. You know it’s the reason you ran. Snag it in cash Mr. Government Man; Stash it with forethought Or poop hits the fan, And your cunning might all come to naught Now if you’re found out You must claim That it’s all a political frame. Just brazen it out And show no one your shame-- There’s a chance you’ll stay carefully bought.
