There has to be a new version of the Dr Hook song for this. (That's what I mean when I say political songs don't have to be "protest songs")

Here's a link to the original words.

Strikes me it wouldn't need that much adjusting...:

Well, I'm a cute politician, I'm the opposition
And I'm loved everywhere I go
I talk about about beauty and I talk about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
I take all kind of stands, make me feel kind of grand
But the thrill I've fin'lly known, is the thrill that gets'cha
When you get your picture on the cover of the Rollin' Stone

CHORUS:
Rollin' Stone,
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother [ Yeah! ]
Wanna see my smilin' face, on the cover, the cover of the Rollin' Stone
