The Ballad Of Gary Hart Lyrics - John Denver

Who's that running down the alley 

In the dark of Friday night 

As he zippers up his trousers 

In the inky slinky light 

Why, of course, it's good old Gary 

Leaping over someone's fence 

Yes, it's good old Gary Hart 

I wouldn't keep you in suspense 

He likes going out to parties 

He likes being a rolling stone 

And he ran things for McGovern 

So I guess we should have known 

He likes warm and willing women 

He likes being where they are 

He couldn't sing, he couldn't dance 

But he just had to be a star

So he went into the Politics Game 

Yes, he went into the politics game 

Warren Beatty told him "looky" 

You can get a lot of nookie 

If you get into the politics game 

When he made it to the Senate 

Gary started making hay 

Gary started making nearly 

Everything that came his way 

He liked taking a position 

But when all is said and done 

Gary's favorite position 

Was the missionary one 

Kennedy was Gary's hero 

And he studied him with care 

How he stood and how he walked 

And even how he wore his hair 

Photos 

But the thing that moved him most 

And made him swear he'd never fail 

If he made it to the White House 

Think of all the chicks he'd nail 

So he went into the Politics Game 

Yes, he went into the politics game 

Warren Beatty told him "looky" 

You can get a lot of nookie 

If you get into the politics game 

Well, he met her at a party 

And her name was Donna Rice 

She was Gary's kind of woman 

She was pure "Miami Vice" 

She thought he was Gary Collins 

And could get her on TV 

She suggested monkey business 

And the rest is history 

When they caught him makin' whooppee 

And the campaign had to cease 

Gary went into seclusion 

He just had to find some peace 

He's been out in Colorado 

Since, I can't remember when 

But he must be gettin' horny 

'Cause he's runnin' once again 

So he's running into the Politics Game 

Yes, he's running into the politics game 

Warren Beatty told him "looky" 

You can get a lot of nookie 

If you get into the politics game
