Blago and Rolo

to the tune of Frankie and Johnny

Blago and Rolo were buddies,
Tight as two scoundrels can be.
Blago and Rolo were cronies,
In political society.
Rubbed each other’s backs
Scratched each other’s itch.

Blago one day went on E-Bay,
Listed a fine senate seat.
Rolo tried negotiations
To get a deal that couldn’t be beat.
Rolo had a plan
To get to Washington.

Rolo then went to the feds,
They tapped Blago’s telephone,
Blago thought Obama had done it,
To pick a senator of his own.
Rolo was the man;
Blago’s time was short.

So Blago appointed old Rolo,
It gave the Democrats fits,
Harry Reid said he’d never allow it
But now that crafty Rolo sits
On the Senate floor.
Blago’s out on his butt.

Then Blago discovered that Rolo
Wasn’t going to pay what he thought,
So Blago decided a lesson
Really needed to be taught.
And the FBI,
Got new evidence.

The story may not yet be ended,
They’re still making lots of noise.
Don’t ever try to cheat your old buddy,
Especially in Illinois.
There's no honor 'mongst thieves,
Now their time is gone.
