(were the mothers of invention ahead of their time? at least in the case of agency man (written in 1967), about ronald reagan running for president. (since bill casey was reagan campaign manager 

Later became head of the cia, the idea of a political sales pitch emanating from an agency man takes on a whole new dimension). 

Sell us a president, agency man 

Smiling big brother stern father perhaps 

Sell us a president, agency man 

(a gay? ) smiling up we know never craps 

Let's try california, 

Pay us first before we do it 

We get a smilin nazi 

March him right on through 

Wham a baby 

Kiss a baby 

Ladies in for tea 

And here's a bunch of speeches 

Well toss 'em in for free 

Photos 

Sell us a president, agency man 

Smiling big brother stern father perhaps 

Sell us a president, agency man 

(a gay? ) smiling up we know never craps 

We'll sell him in the movies 

On the tube throughout the year 

We'll sell him by the bucket 

To the okies drinking beer 

We'll teach him how to walk and talk 

We'll putty up his chin 

We'll print his picture everywhere 

Of course the shmuck will win 

From the heart of death valley 

To the ruling of our land 

A simple trick you simple pig 

It's just the way we planned
