[Verse 1] Ladies and gentlemen, I come before you with my tie pulled tight and my conscience in view I heard the rumors coming down the turnpike a certain someone’s landing and I’m trying to act right I paced my office I struck a pose I rehearsed my frown from my head to my toes [Pre-Chorus] I don’t take this lightly No, I don’t take this lightly Seriously I’m a serious mayor wearing my heart right on my sleeve [Chorus] I can’t do shit but we’ll still make this a hit (That’s show business) Give the people what they want while I don’t overcommit I can’t do shit but I’ll say I’ll do a bit (That’s show business) Look good for the cameras and let the headlines twist [Verse 2] I checked my folders I checked the law I checked my face in the mirror, in awe I wanted thunder I wanted flair I wanted justice everywhere But then the paperwork walked in the room and all my swagger met a legal broom [Pre-Chorus] I don’t take this lightly No, I don’t take this lightly Seriously I’m a serious mayor wearing my heart right on my sleeve [Chorus] I can’t do shit but we’ll still make this a hit (That’s show business) Give the people what they want while I don’t overcommit I can’t do shit but I’ll say I’ll do a bit (That’s show business) Look good for the cameras and let the headlines twist [Bridge] Now, if you ask me what I really mean I mean I mean it in a ceremonial scene I’ll wag my finger I’ll clutch my chest I’ll say “I’m on it” with my very best vest The crowd loves feeling like something’s being done while I keep my hands where the law says none [Final Chorus] I can’t do shit but we’ll still make this a hit (That’s show business) Give the people what they want while I don’t overcommit I can’t do shit but I’ll say I’ll do a bit (That’s show business) I’ll bow, I’ll grin, I’ll pose and call it civic wit [Outro] I don’t take this lightly No, I don’t take this lightly (That’s show business) Seriously I’m a serious mayor wearing my heart right on my sleeve
