Let ’Em Eat Cake: First Lady and First Gent Songtext
von Michael Tilson Thomas

Our future looks colossal and terrific
Why not?
If you can find the courage to be mine
Why not?
We′ll rule from the Atlantic to Pacific
Why not?
If we get both our forces to combine
Of course, you know your past is rather shady
Why not?
But then we two have so much on the ball
We really ought to be First Gent and Lady


The soldiers and the sailors all at our beck and call
And so we've got the wherewithal
If you′ll tie up with me, boy, we'll make history
With no one stopping us, believe you me, there's no topping us
We′ll be First Lady and First Gent
We′ll be the country's toast and rule from coast to coast
Without legality, but that′s just a technicality
Let's be First Lady and First Gent
A new regime and combination, the greatest team in all creation
First Lady and First Gent, that suits our temperament
Life will be so grand when we walk through the land
