the volunteers were tired  heads were hanging low  the news had spoiled their appettite  for stuffing envelopes  twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls  with only two weeks to go  shouldering the phone  loosening his tie  his running mate on pricks and pins  hovering beside  the candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life  then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction  when you're nothing but a boyfriend  dangling by a thread  keeop in mind the bottom line  diamonds are a girls's best friend    inches from the goal  one thing on his mind  to get behind her desk and make  some big decisions  power can be such a tease  you're always wantingmore  it's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
