lyrics

That's So: A Tribute To The Beloved Mayor of Heart City
By The New Brelkin

To The Tune Of The Ballad of Explosive Soldier

Mayor Reshtha has served us for so very long.
She keeps our best interests at heart.
And yet, the heart's door remains quite closed.
You'd think she'd at least have made a start. That's so.
You'd think she'd have made a start.

Mayor Reshtha claims that she keeps the peace,
And no citizens are attacked.
Yet our businessmen find that 'Kick Me' signs
Are pinned onto their backs, that's so.
They're pinned onto their backs.

Miss Squirrel can walk into the Stone's Throw,
Attacking, quite consequences-free,
It seems Cinestians have got the right,
More rights than you or me. That's so.
More rights than you or me.

Mayor Reshtha says that she speaks for us all,
She says so quite eloquently.
Then abandons debates without answering one thing.
Now, why on earth might that be? Who knows.
Just why on earth might that be?

Mayor Reshtha's ruled two hundred years.
Her service, we never will contest.
But it's time for a change and some new ideas,
And a bear who will fight for what's best. That's so.
A bear who will fight for what's best.
