The Tale of Patrick Quinn
(with apologize to Sweeny Todd and Stephen Sondheim–this was written for a well known annual parody show, but is not being used and I didn’t want it to go to waste):
Attend the tale of Patrick Quinn
His job was tough, but his talent thin
He sent his plan to the gentlemen
But his ideas were never then heard from again
He didn’t win the spot that he’s in
Our Patrick Quinn, The Bumbling Gov’nor in Spring….field
He went to work with honesty
And told the truth for all to see
But that doesn’t work in Illinois
Where everyone thought it was just a ploy by Patrick
By Patrick Quinn, The Stumbling Gov’nor in Spring….fieldRaise the taxes high, Patrick
Graduate the pie
Don’t be nervous, social service we supplyHis needs are few, but the mansion great
His “Betsy” case & a Super 8
No security guard or private plane
But a campaign staff and ads that explain
What he has done and why he’s been
This Patrick Quinn, The humbling Gov’nor in Spring….field
