Dealmakers In The Night - “Strangers In The Night”, Kaempfert, enhanced by VanillaMan
Sing it, “Chairman of the Board”!
Dealmakers in the night, exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances they’d be Big Players
Before their careers were through.
Something in their deals were so inviting,
Somehow each knew how it’ll feel, it was exciting,
Something in their poll numbers,
Told them to push the deal on through.
Dealmakers in the night, two ambitious people
They were dealmakers in the night
Up to the moment
When they said their first hello.
Little did they know
Political power was comin their way,
Bi-partisan endorsements timed a certain way
Ever since that deal, they’ve been winners.
Anything they could steal, as happy sinners.
It turned out so right,
For dealmakers in the night.
“Sure, you’ve got a chance. See, I thought Rod was going to appoint himself to my senate seat,so I loosened the bolts on it. Then Roland sat in it and fell over, and he thinks Dick did it. So, come late October, he’s gonna release some photoshopped pictures of Dick and Rod counting cash together!”

KD-Remember how Hynes beatt you up in the Senate race?
BO- Yep
remember the heat I took in your presidential race?
BO- Yep
KD- Do you want me to write your endorsement of me or will David do it?
Kirk: Now, about that reciprocation for the video commercial that I made for you when you were running for President. I believe your exact words back then were, “I’ll owe you man.” Remember Barack you said , if I scratch your back you will scratch mine? I was thinking that maybe you could make a few phone calls back to Springfield for me and perhaps a video of the two of us with you endorsing me for governor?
KD: “No, really, Barack….I need your endorsement”. “You know….that crossing the aisle, working with the other side thing”. Yep…paybacks are a … - hard!
“Yeah, so I told ‘em I was for you before I was against you for President…And they believed me! This flip flopping stuff is working for me every time!”
