WHAT THIS COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS IS ANOTHER MOVIE STAR
(June Reizner)

[Spoken]
Do you worry about Vietnam? Do you fear the NATO split?
Do you dream about the national debt? That doesn't help a bit!
Don't fear Red China's bomb threat, don't cry for the old UN
Just remember that the Republicans are coming back again

They know that what this country really needs is another movie star
No one else can steal those leads like another movie star
Ron Reagan is the governor, George Murphy in D.C.
Now to complete the picture, all we need is Sandra Dee

'Cause bonny Ronny Reagan knows experience pays
So California better get set for Death Valley Days
Won't it be great when we can say, "all the senate is a stage"
Put politics where it belongs on the amusement page

And though our next president may not have scored
In the senate or supreme court or the cabinet my Lord
Hey won't it be fun to know he won an Academy Award
Because the country needs another movie star

[Spoken]
Margaret Smith, you better chase, tiny Tim's in the race
And over in France, won't it be groovy? Bardot as Premier, DeGaulle's in a movie!
Tuesday Weld, you'll make it, too When Justice Douglas marries you
Even England's makin' the scene, Ringo's next in line for Queen!

Oh, gee, it's nice to see the GOP
With such a grand old plan
They may not have a leader any more, but
They've got a leading man

And now we'll be safe, for if someone slips
And the finger on that little old red button was tripped
Why, it simply wouldn't matter, folks, it wasn't in the script
That's why the country needs another movie star

Now Lyndon is smarter and Hubert's more clever
But the GOP knows movies are better than ever
So everybody sing, "the stars and stars forever..."

[Spoken]
Well after all George Murphy danced his way into the congress
And Ronald Reagan acted his way into a governorship
And George Hamilton...
Well, he did the best he could

'Cause we need a movie, a groovy groovy movie
Hey, don't ya love a pretty movie star
