Come on babe, won't you take a chance
Your papa's gonna show you a brand new dance
You shuffle on down, now don't you be no drag
And do that Election Year Rag
You take two steps to the left and two steps to the right
And then you stand in the middle and you hang on tight
And come on down now, don't you lag
And do that Election Year Rag
Jump on that old bandwagon
Here's what we're gonna do:
Go down to the Precinct Captain's house this morning
And scarf up some lame duck stew
Well, don't you cry, don't shed no tears
You know it only comes around every four years
And I'm your dark horse and you're my nag
Do that Election Year Rag
If you feel like you need a score card
Well, you really don't have to fuss
You know the winner's always somebody else
And the loser is always us
And it's shake it to the East, shake it to the West
Hand me down my bullet-proof vest
It's nobody's choice and it's anybody's guess
And do that Election
There ain't no selection
And do that Election Year Rag
Election Year Rag was written by Steve Goodman.
Election Year Rag was produced by Arif Mardin.
