To the tune of Shine Raleigh Shine, whatever that may be:
We?re a city on the ooze
We win, you lose
You’ll be taken as we need
Got an old jones to feed
Lobbyist seed
Canned ham, expense account booze
Scandal rocks
Deception rules
Imaginations going wild
We legislate
We regulate
The greenbacks and blank checks, they pile
Chorus:
Slime Raleigh slime
Sink down and slime
If they put it all together
We’ll retire to sunny weather
‘Til then slime
Slime here
When evening comes
Twinkle little staffer
Up above the city high
It feels like a dream
This Raleigh scene
Gifts of diamonds you will ply
Whoa! Time to slink away
Feds may yet yell “freeze”
Make the sweetest getaway
Should you wake up in the morn?
To the Tijuana sun
Twitchy colon gripped by fright
Is it a brand new day?
Rule of law on the way?
Trepidation gnaws your bones
Cohort squeals, talks the talk
Flips Raleigh upside down
You feel it in your soul
Welcome to our house
As in Big, not small
Incarceration is on tap
Y?all come back or else
Your freedom we fear
Reclaim the city
You have turned to crap
Thanks and goodnight. Drive safe.
