Doing the Washington twist
|
Doing the twist with a twist
|
No one is set till they finally get
|
On the President's favorite list
|
President's doubts while the ins and the outs
|
Keep on doing the Washington Twist
|
|
Gentlemen loaded with charm
|
Seemingly meaning no harm
|
But while they're there, you're becoming aware
|
That they're quietly twisting your arm
|
Gentle in tone while promoting a loan
|
Which is part of the Washington Twist
|
|
Congressmen's lips that are pucked
|
Waiting for plums to be plucked
|
Legal concerns, making out their returns
|
With expenses they'd like to deduct
|
Drinking a toast to the host with the most
|
While they're doing the Washington Twist
|
