The volunteers were tired, heads were hanging low
The news had spoiled their appetite 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
Keep in mind the bottom line, diamonds are a girls 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 wanting more
It's good to know that just like sex, it can be paid for
