Cello Serenade in the Senate

Lyrics

He’s been in Washington so long, The Capitol knows his favorite song, The Senate doors go creak, creak, creak, “Mitch, you coming?” — “Give me a week!” He’s seen the presidents come and go, Seen the fashions change from high to low, The phones got smart, the TVs got flat, And Mitch just says, “I remember that!” [Chorus] 🎶 Mitch is still here, Mitch is still here, Year after year after year after year! The calendar flips, the decades roll, But Mitch keeps showing up for roll call! He’s got more Senate stories than anyone can hear— So grab your coffee, folks… Mitch is still here! 🎶 [Verse 2] He remembers when the internet was new, When everybody had a phone that grew An antenna sticking out the top, And you had to wait for the dial-up to stop! He’s watched the Senate change its style, He’s been around for quite a while, If Washington had a museum tour, They’d probably have a Mitch McConnell floor! [Chorus] 🎶 Mitch is still here, Mitch is still here, Year after year after year after year! The Senate votes, the cameras roll, And Mitch is right there answering the call! Time keeps moving, but one thing is clear— The Senate sign says: “Mitch is still here!” 🎶 [Bridge] 🎵 “Is he retiring?” — “I don’t know!” “Is he leaving?” — “Not quite so!” “Is he taking a break?” — “Maybe next year!” Then Mitch walks in and says, “Why are you all standing here?” [Final Chorus] 🎶 Mitch is still here, everybody cheer, Another congressional year! The decades pass, the ages change, But somehow Mitch remains in range! So turn up the banjo, give three cheers— For the Senate institution who’s STILL. RIGHT. HERE! 🎶
