Bob McCarty Writes

After finishing third in the Florida Republican primary that was supposed to serve as the launch pad for his campaign, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani announced through a spokesperson tonight that he would end his White House bid and endorse John McCain tomorrow.

On the occasion of Giuliani’s exit from the 2008 race, I think it’s fitting that I republish the words of a song parody I wrote for Mike Huckabee to sing to “America’s Mayor.” First published in a BMW post Nov. 29, the words of the song parody appear below for posterity’s sake:

Rudy (Please Shut Your Campaign Down)
(Sung by Mike Huckabee to the tune of the song, Ruby, as made famous by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition in 1969.)

You’ve painted up your lips and dressed in ladies’ clothes and hair
Rudy are you contemplating going out somewhere
Your wives have made no secret of the fact you fool around.
Oh Rudy, please shut your campaign down.

I saw the YouTube movie where you dressed up like a gal
and kissed and hugged “The Donald” like he was more than a pal.
Some people say I’m running just to be named your V-P clown (that’s not true!)
Oh Rudy, please shut your campaign down.

Rudy, it’s hard to vote for a man with makeup on his eyes
With the wants and the needs of American voters, Rudy realize
It won’t be long the pollsters say until I run you down
Oh Rudy, please shut your campaign down.

How long will it be until you find wife number four?
Spending our tax dollars on affairs just like before
Americans don’t care that you were mayor of a big town
Oh Rudy, shut your campaign down

Oh Rudy… For God’s sake, shut it down

You can’t beat Hillary…I can

Not with your record.

Uh, uh.
