lyrics

Mayor Giles, tryin’ hard to turn the tables
Mayor Giles, tryin’ to keep that city stable
You know that I love you, you don’t even have to ask
I wrote this song for you because you made us wear a mask

The governor’s supposed to keep the town shut
But he’s got his nose up the president’s butt
Turning into the Hunger Games
As he stomps the Phoenix back down into the flames
But you won’t give up, no
Gotta take it upon yourself to uphold
The people getting a fair shot at getting old

Mayor Giles, presiding over Mesa
Mayor Giles, I’d like to buy you a cerveza
You’ve got me rushing to the polls
But then I remembered that I vote from home, whoops

The governor’s sitting on his thumb
Repeating “mask up” ad nauseum
But he can’t get it through his head
The economy doesn’t work when everybody’s dead
While he sticks to his photo op
You made the mandate he would not
Now let’s sit back and watch them cases drop
Mayor Giles

The governor’s a pile of burning trash
The equivalent of a week-long rash
I’d like to smack him in the face
And put you up in the office in his place
Don’t care if I’m lickin’ your boot
While you’re standing proudly in your suit
‘Cause from the right angle you’re kind of cute

Mayor Giles, you know that I adore you
Mayor Giles, I’m gonna cast my ballot for you
Mayor Giles, Mayor Giles
