This was one of my cousin's. He wasn't the best at writing lyrics (and I should know, being responsible for some real stinkers of my own) but musically he was quite clever, ending this with a lovely minor-chord coda that really wrapped up things nicely.
Having said that, I still have no idea who "the congressman and his mistress" were, or what the hell they were doing in our song. We were Canadian, dammit, and this was entirely the wrong way to go about getting some of that scrumptious government cheese.
