(Were The Mothers of Invention Ahead
of their time? at least in the case
of AGENCY MAN (written in 1967),
about Ronald Reagan running for
president. (Since Bill Casey was
Reagan campaign manager, and later
became head of the CIA, the idea of
a political sales pitch emanating
from an agency man takes on a whole
new dimension).

Sell us a president, agency man
Smiling Big Brother stern father perhaps
Sell us a president, agency man
(A gay?) smiling up we know never craps
Let's try California,
Pay us first before we do it

March him right on through
Wham a baby
Kiss a baby
Ladies in for tea

And here's a bunch of speeches
Well toss 'em in for free

Sell us a president, agency man
Smiling Big Brother stern father perhaps
Sell us a president, agency man
(A gay?) smiling up we know never craps

We'll sell him in the movies
On the tube throughout the year
We'll sell him by the bucket
To the Okies drinking beer
We'll teach him how to walk and talk
We'll putty up his chin
We'll print his picture everywhere
Of course the shmuck will win

From the heart of Death Valley
To the ruling of our land
A simple trick you simple pig
It's just the way we planned
