Shake It Up - Ocasek/The Cars, enhanced by VanillaMan

I spent my millions to avoid defeat
Now I’m under the Dome, on my two left feet
Shake it up
Shake it up, oo yeah
Shake up Springfield

Livable wages are no excuse
You should be able to hire anyone
Just tell all the unions, that I won
Shake it up, oo-oo
Shake it up, yeah yeah
Shake up Springfield, oo-oo
Shake it up
I tellin’ you, business are right! (go go go)
Should pay lower taxes! (get real low)
Hire who they want (wages will rot)
I’m shakin’ it up “now”, this is my shot, woo!
Uh well it’s not like my ideas will go anywhere
I’m noticin’ an awful lot of stares
Find me my money! Now, get to work!
Pretend I’m not a quirky jerk
Shake it up, oo-oo
Shake it up, oo yeah
Shake it up, feel my heat?
I’m shakin’ it up!
I’m shakin’ it up, makin’ a scene
I don’t care if you think I’m mean
I’m tellin’ the poor, there’s no more
Pushin’ Illinois wages, down through the floor!
Shake it up, oo-oo
(shake it up) oo yeah
Shake it up, oo-oo
(shake it up) oh yeah
(shake it up)
Shake it up

Limerick Time:
Our new GOP guv for our state,
Might have preferred Senate President “Pate” -
But a Dem legislature
Is Illinois’ second nature
Reform needs both parties pulling their weight.
