Music Man


Music is a way of projecting the voice
Filling the void of eternity
As democracy's denizens keep piling in
To make their choice for a new leader.

What is he wearing today?
He is wearing a dark blue shirt
The tie was obligatory once but not today
To show that he is the man for our times.

He is a songwriter, a common man,
A man who conquered the lands and the seas
By filling the vast void of radio waves
With his own groove of homespun melodies.

His songs are about eating mum's cooking
And looking good while he goes searching
For the woman of his dreams.
To him, the world is a big oyster.

He thinks that the denizens need him
To guide them through the grey clouds of change.
So they might as well be cheerful.
Singing and dancing, he's a Music Man.
