The Country's In The Very Best Of Hands

Johnny Mercer

Them city folks and friends

Are pretty much alike

Though they ain't used to living in the sticks

We don't like stone or cement

But we is in agreement

When we get started talking politics



The country's in the very best of hands

The best of hands

The best of hands



The treasury says the national debt

Is climbing to the sky

And government expenditures

Have never been so high

It makes a fellow get a

Gleam of pride when they decide

To see how our economy expands

The country's in the very best of hands



The country's in the very best of hands

The best of hands

The best of hands



You oughtta hear the senate

When their drawing up a bill

Where asses and dimwits are crowded in each conisil (sp.)

Such legal terminology

Would give your heart a thrill

There's phrases there that no one understands

The country's in the very best of hands



The building boom, they say

Is getting bigger every day

And when I asked a feller

How could everybody pay

He come up with an answer

That made everything okay

Supplies are getting greater than demands

The country's in the very best of hands



Don't you believe them congressmen

And senators are dumb

When they run into problems

That is tough to overcome

They just declare something

They call the moritorium

The upper and the lower house dismans

The country's in the very best of hands



Fox Motors is connected to the nominee

The nominee's connected to the treasury

When he ain't connected to the treasury

He sits around on his thigh bone



He sits around in his fancy car

This big congressional parking lot

Just sits around on the you know what

'Cause there they calls it their thigh bone



Them bones, them bones

Gonna rise again

Gonna excercise a franchise again

Gonna tax
