Austin Lounge Lizards - Jesse + Phil

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1963490
Said senator Helms to senator Graham
"Phil, this persona is not who I am"
Phil replied, "Yes, Jesse! I understand"
And with that revelation, their new lives began

Together they quit the congressional grind
Leaving their families and their wives behind
Just two single coots wearing seersucker suits
But behind closed doors, they're still in cahoots

Phil and Jesse, Jesse and Phil
Never revealed their true feeling until
They walked hand in hand down Capitol Hill
Phil and Jesse, Jesse and Phil

Once, they were big senate meanies
Now Jesse mixes his mean bellinis
Phil serves them in flutes to that brutish George Will

In a refurbished bungalow they now abide
Their two tiny dachshunds are their joy and pride
Out on the veranda they seem so demure
You could almost forget what big asses they were

Phil and Jesse, Jesse and Phil
Neither one ever could pass a good bill
Then they tripped down the aisle and birds started to trill
Phil and Jesse, Jesse and Phil
Aww, Phil and Jesse, Jesse and Phil
