GUEST Lyr Req: The Ballad of Rose Mary (Milton J. Shapp) (15) RE: Lyr Req: The Ballad of Rose Mary (Milton J. Shapp) 13 Aug 18


THE BALLAD OF ROSE MARY (lyric)...
Listen, my friends, while I relate a tale of mystery called Watergate...
A tale so scary, hardly anyone knows,...
Except Rose Mary, how deep it goes.......
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, help us solve this mystery...
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, you found your place in history...
For 18 minutes you sat there alone...        
With your foot on the pedal and your hand on the phone,...
Then something happened that was mighty, mighty weird.......
All the words on your tape just disappeared...
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, that tape was in your custody...
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, didn't you know the fuss there'd be...
Now the experts tell us your sorry for the first...
Americans have a right to know what happened to those words...
The feeling grows and the White House knows that your silent due to loyalty
Please speak up Rose Mary don't be hesitant, as yet our President doesn't belong to royalty
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, you’re not out of the Woods
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, start spilling the goods
You were so quick to judge John Sirica
That revelation was a sensation, it shocked the nation
Now everyone’s waiting for you to sing...
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, everyone knows those eighteen minutes did not go missing
Somebody had a darn good listen
Will wonders never cease, and may Checkers Rest in Peace
Rose Mary, oh, Rose Mary, please relate...
To our head of state, you must make this perfectly clear
Yes, my dear...
He must tell what the bleep went on at Watergate....
