A Politician I will be

 

THE POLITICIAN

 

I am going to be one

I train a lot, I'm learning to plot

I watch elections, I learn a lot

They tell me to practice

I'm trying to change

I'm learning to speak

Speak and not say a lot

With training I think

I'll fit the bill

Already I practice

 I sound true blue

You'll be astounded

Just what I can do

Smile a lot

It will get me through

That's what I'm told

 It will have to do

I kissed a child the other day

Learned how to say goo, goo

I know how to ignore

Use the truth when it's needed

Make up a story

Make it seem really real

Now I just have to know

How to become a member

I remember these skills

 I've learned them, I'll be right!

I'll have a bright future

And that is for sure

My skill of lying

Will stand me in good stead

It's has done it's job

I'll get ahead

The PM's job sounds

Sounds just right

I'm sure I could do it

I lie real good

Me for PM that's what I say

I'm not going to wait

Not one more day

You can always believe me

I've learned what to say

I'm a born politician

I think you can tell
