Harvey Milk:

Hi! My name’s Harvey Milk and I’m here to recruit you!

I’m just a Long Island Guy

For a while I’ve had my eye

On a great job serving people like you

Ooh-hoo

Life on the Castro never stops

But I saw from my camera shop

That no one stands up for gays or knows what we do

Or thinks we’re cuckoo!

 

I don’t wanna say I’m the best for the job but-

I kinda am so why don’tcha put those high heels on

And vote for me!

I’m Harvey Milk, I’m a helluva guy!

 

I’d like to build and organize

A great circle of friends who might fraternize with—

Who feel they maybe what a change

I do, too

Poo-poop-pee-doo

So if you’re in need of a break

From the city fat cats

On the make

Like, oh, I don’t know….DAN WHITE!

Oops! Did I just say that aloud?

 

I don’t wanna say I’m the best for the job but-

I kinda am so why don’tca put those lashes on

And vote for me!

I’m Harvey Milk, I’m a helluva guy!

 

Tap break

 

That Harvey Milk, he’s a helluva guy!

That’s right….

Uhm-hmmm!

 

I don’t wanna say I’m the best for the job but-

I kinda am so why don’tca put that moo-moo on

And vote for me!

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

I know I’ll be the best for the job!

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-hi-yai-yai!

 

And now our votes are in for city supervisor are in….and the winner is….

But I came in 21 out of 27

I gotta try again!

 

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

I know I’ll be the best for the job!

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-Ay! Ay! Ay! Hispanics!

 

And our winner for this year is….

SORRY HARVEY. NOT YOU.

But I came in 7 out of 21!

I gotta try again!

 

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

I know I’ll be the best for the job!

‘Cause I’m a helluva guy!

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-Oh, my God I'm gonna pass out!

 

And our winner for this year is….

HARVEY MILK!

Oh, shit, I won.

Where’s my toaster?!

 

I don’t wanna say I’m the best for the job but-

I kinda am so why don’tca put those high heels on

Put those lashes on

Put that moo-moo on

Oh, hell I don’t care whatcha wear just get out there and vote!

From me!
