Heard the news?

Coakley lose?

Did she not compete?

This Massachusetts liberal

never thought she’d lose her seat.

As attorney general,

politics were her domain,

But who’d have guessed

for this race,

she barely would campaign?

Weeks go by, and final ballots

now are rolling in,

And there’s the Democrat for Mass.,

it looks like she didn’t win!

(Chorus)

My blood runs cold,

my Senate seat has just been sold

They voted for a centerfold

Scott Brown was a centerfold

They closed the polls,

the Senate seat has just been sold

Voted for a centerfold

His wife sits

behind the desk

Gail Huff is known as part of the    press,

She’s not shy,

she’s been around,

she’s now on Channel 5.

His daughter is famous too,

American Idol ingenue,

Semifinals meant that

Ayla’s chances didn’t survive.

But Scott Brown in law school,

way back in ’82,

Appeared in Cosmopolitan,

and was completely nude!

(Chorus)

My blood runs cold,

my Senate seat has just been sold

They voted for a centerfold

Scott Brown was a centerfold

They closed the polls,

the Senate seat has just been sold

Voted for a centerfold

Nah (x63)

Now listen: Why’d he win,

   I understand:

Campaigning wasn’t Coakley’s plan,

While Scott Brown stayed

   at Fenway Park,

By shaking hands he made his mark.

Took this race, yes he did,

he took the race so easy.

Took old Teddy’s Senate seat,

soon takin’ off to D.C.

They said it simply couldn’t be done;

Republicans have never won.

But now, they can’t deny it.

Oh yeah, campaigning,

you should try it!

(Chorus)

My blood runs cold,

my Senate seat has just been sold

They voted for a centerfold

Scott Brown was a centerfold

They closed the polls,

the Senate seat has just been sold

Voted for a centerfold
