(instrumental intro)

Last night as I got home about a half past ten,
There was a report on the TV about that Governor Davis man.
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell you what I did then:
I filed some papers to run for Guv just like old Ronnie Reagan.

I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Kennedy, my wife.
Sacramento for my home,
Save California's life.
I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Shriver, too, my wife.
Gotta read the Constitution
To avoid some new strife.

You've been many things, but most of all, a liberal journalist to me.
And it's times like this I feel I'm glad I went with the GOP.
Was I wrong to work out, and put films on my plate?
Don't work, that Gray, he's just cost me my State.

I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Kennedy, my wife.
Sacramento for my home,
Save California's life.
I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Shriver, too, my wife.
Gotta read the Constitution
To avoid some new strife.

When a man is an actor, it's hard to understand
that he would be more qualified than a career politician.
I never really noticed how thin my resume'.
It just so happens I'm not as smart as that Governor they call Gray.

I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Kennedy, my wife.
Sacramento for my home,
Save California's life.
I run for Gov'nor, Maria,
A Shriver, too, my wife.
Gotta read the Constitution
To avoid some new strife.
