Mister Mayor Says (I'm Guided by the Love of Gold) (Rahm Emanuel Version)

from Rahm Songs by Andrew Francis

/

about

With all the big issues you have to deal with in a big city like Chicago, who better to deal with them than good, ol’ Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

I first wrote this song WAY BACK near the end of 2009. The original subject being good, ol’ Mayor Daley, may God rest his soul. I never figured he’d retire from his job and thought I’d get to keep singing this song and singing it until I died.

But all good things come to an end.

Good, ol’ Mayor Daley retired and good, ol’ Mayor Rahm stepped right in. So, I figured I better update my song a bit just for him.

You’re welcome, Mister Mayor.

lyrics

Mister Mayor says, Mister Mayor says, Mister Mayor says, Mister Mayor says, Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"I'll tell it to the East, I'll tell it to the West, I'll tell everyone that I am the best!" Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

Mister Mayor says, "If the price is right, I'll try to sell the day and I'll try to sell the night." Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"Now, if I've got something that you must have, just place your bid, everything's up for grabs!" Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"Cause the parking meters fetched a hefty sum, so I sold 'em on a walk and I sold 'em on a run." Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"And I'd rather go swimming with a Late Night host, then try to fix schools or fill pot holes." Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"If you offer me the sweetest deal, I'll sign anything Rahm Emanuel." Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"

"But there's only one thing that you can't buy, that's my job, I'll keep it until I die." Mister Mayor says, "I'm guided by the love of gold!"
