Lyrics The Hum - Margo Guryan

The Hum

THE HUM
Words and Music by Margo Guryan
The heat is down and the lights are lowThe East is buried in an icy snowThe
West is following crisis rulesThey can’t go swimming in their swimming pools
And the tapes go hmm-mm-mm-mm,.
The prices rise and the Market fallsThe trucks go slow and the Congress
stallsThe V.P.
left with the dough he tookAnd the P. tells the world he’s not a
crook
And the tapes go hmm-mm-mm-mm,.
The A.G.* said he’d do anythingTo help the President become the KingThe kingdom
then became cold and emptyAll except for San Clemente
And the tapes go hmm-mm-mm-mm,.
The rich save money and the poor save gasWe vote for an elephant and get an
assHe hires and he fires, he appoints and sacksBut he can’t figure out his
income tax
And the tapes go hmm-mm-mm-mm,.
