Please Vote For Me, California
Just a little campaign music to help Arnold Schwarzenneger in his gubernatorial campaign
(Sung to the tune of "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" by Madonna, from the musical, "Evita")
Guest song parody by Mark Hoolihan

(As sung by Arnold Schwarzenegger, GOP candidate for California governor)

(instrumental intro)

It will be easy, don't think it strange
When I never explain what I'll do
'Cause I still need more press, after all I have done

You don't believe me
All you see is a Terminator
Although that was only an act
I know I can still persuade you

I had to make it happen, to join the race
Couldn't let my career fade away
Living out of the spotlight, only in the tabloids

So I chose Leno
Running around saying nothing that's new
Catch phrases impressing you all
I always expected them to

(Chorus:)
Please vote for me, California
The truth is I have to lead you
All through these wild days
I will talk nonsense
Till you elect me
Without resistance

And as for budgets, and fiscal things
I managed Planet Hollywood
Plus it seems to the world I'm a strong, tough leader

It's all illusion
They're just films not solutions they appear to be
The answer's much simpler you see
I need you and know you love me

Please vote for me, California
The truth is I have to lead you
All through these wild days
I will talk nonsense
Till you elect me

Please vote for me, California
The truth is I have to lead you
All through these wild days
I will talk nonsense
Till you elect me

(instrumental break)

Without resistance

(instrumental break)

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is watch "Conan" to know
That every word is true

Please vote for me, California
The truth is I have to lead you
All through these wild days
I will talk nonsense
Till you elect me

Please vote for me, California
The truth is I have to lead you
All through these wild days
I will talk nonsense
Till you elect me...

(instrumental break)

Without resistance...

(instrumental ending)
