I Got the Horse Quid Pro Quo

A favorite clever song … from Guys and Dolls, 1955 …

I got the horse right here
The name is Paul Revere
And here’s a guy that says if the weather’s clear
Can do, can do
This guy says the horse can do

Updated … current events style … The Late Show with Stephen Colbert … Sept. 26, 2019 … lyrics below …

Your country needs some dough
Let’s do some quid pro quo
You gotta go get me some dirt on Joe
Ukraine, Ukraine
I hope this don’t cause any pain

… And look where else this jaunty tune shows up … a 1967 Gold Medal Flour commercial … Can do, can do, with Gold Medal you can do! … I definitely remember it! …

“This book is comprised solely of comments spoken by President Donld J. Trump in the wake of Hurricane Florence on September 19, 2018, in New Bern, North Carolina.”

100% of The Late Show’s proceeds from this book go to hurricane relief … (ordered two copies … from Amazon Prime)

“Thank you to Colbert and company for donating the proceeds of the book to hurricane victims AND entertaining us. Without Colbert, I couldn’t have survived these past 2 years. This book brought me more laughs!”
