Indispensable
(An old Nat "King" Cole song, as sung by Rudy "King" Giuliani)
Indispensable, that's what I am.
I'm an icon now, like Uncle Sam.
I'm the rock this town is built upon.
Après moi, no one could carry on.
No one but me
Could possibly be
(bah, bah, bah)
Indispensable, the mayor for life.
No one worries now about my wife.
So, you see, I've simply got to stay.
I'll be mayor forever and a day.
And I'll still be indispensable then.Calvin Trillin
