The Silver Fox of City Hall

Verse 1

Clip board

Pen click

Stiff starched shirt

Silver hair shines like chrome

His mustache is trimmed to a razor edge

Cold blue eyes

Looking at your weeds

He walks the cracked sidewalk with a heavy gait

Verse 2

Mrs. Gable

Fence height

Too tall

Way too high for the zone

He pulls out a yellow pad

She starts to scream

She starts to yell

He talks smooth and slow like warm syrup

Then she smiles

Then she leans

Then she bats her grey lashes at his badge

Chorus

Oh the silver fox of the city hall

He’s got a silver tongue for them all

They forget the fine

They forget the bill

When he smiles they get a little thrill

A silver man with a silver way

Saving the neighborhood today

Verse 3

Pizza Garbage

The buffet

Steam rising

Grease on the plastic tray

He sits with his buddy Dale

Red sauce

Cold soda

A shadow falls across the crust

Three widows

In Sunday best

They strut past the booth like a runway

Dale is choking

Dale is laughing

Dale can't believe the show they put on

Chorus

Oh the silver fox of the city hall

He’s got a silver tongue for them all

They forget the fine

They forget the bill

When he smiles they get a little thrill

A silver man with a silver way

Saving the neighborhood today

Bridge

He writes the ticket

They blow a kiss

He finds a violation

They find a reason to fix their hair

The town is tidy

The ladies are hungry

And the pizza is getting cold

Chorus

Oh the silver fox of the city hall

He’s got a silver tongue for them all

They forget the fine

They forget the bill

When he smiles they get a little thrill

A silver man with a silver way

Saving the neighborhood today

Post-Chorus

Silver hair

Silver tongue

Silver mustache

Silver fox

Outro

Check the grass

Check the porch

See you at the buffet

Have a nice day ladies
