Story behind the song

W is [finally] leaving, so I really appreciate all Roddy's done to carry the torch of mediocrity to new lows.

Lyrics

Out mid-west, Chicago way,
they got a crazy dance
they call it  a??pay to playa??		
He got the power, you got the scratch,
heaven didna??t make that match 
Illegality is not a catch, 
ita??s the way that his world goes round

Made a presidential solicitation 
for some hard cash remuneration, 			
Changed high hopes and anticipation 
to choreographic consternation
Theya??d only pledge appreciation, 
not the way that his world goes round
`
Now theya??ve asked him to step down  
Love to see him snort and frown		
He wanta??s to take us for a ride, cause 	
He cana??t wait to tell his side

RB was the governor, and 
now we know what he governed for
It takes only two to tango 
with that old Chicago gang-o
Thought hea??d trip the life fandango
ita??s the way that his world goes round

Even though hea??s compromised 
he will not apologize
Born in Chicago in fifty six,
thata??s where he learned a bunch of tricks
Ethics and politics do not mix, 
ita??s the way that his world goes round

Blagojevich is hard to say, but 
hea??s the master of the a??Pay to Playa??
You scratch his back, hea??ll scratch yours, 
the only way to open doors
Hea??s got Standards unless your Poors
ita??s the way that his world goes round.

Now theya??ve asked him to step down  
Love to see him snort and frown		
He wanta??s to take us for a ride, cause 	
He cana??t wait to tell his side

Way out in Chicago way,
 they got a crazy dance they call it  a??pay to playa??  		
He got the power, you got the scratch, 
heaven sure didna??t make that match
Illegality is not a catch, 
Ita??s the way that his world goes round 

Roddy wants yez to buy him a drink!
