He came out of Maryland just as meek as a lamb
He said, folks, you don't know who I am
Southern strategy, that's me in this political game
Didn't take us long to all know his name
He went to Chicago and he knocked them all dead
The news people, they didn't like a word that he said
And Humphrey and Fulbright, musky from Maine
Says, boys, that old Spiro, he sure is a pain
Spiro, our hero, where are you tonight?
Out making speeches, someone wants to fight
The people up north say you've got a big mouth
But Spiro, our hero, we love you down south
The hippies don't like him, they'll smoke to that
They say, man, that Spiro is a way out cat
His enemies don't go to the country club at all
It's pretty dangerous, the way he hits a golf ball
The most popular speaker in America, that's true
But he has to try harder, cause he's number two
And all them Democrats there having nightmares
Even old Tricky Dick, sometimes he gets scared
Spiro, our hero, where are you tonight?
You don't know you're the left from the right
The people up north say you've got a big mouth
But Spiro, our hero, we love you down south
Spiro, our hero, we love you down south
Spiro, our hero, we love you down south
