Politician (BBC ‘Top Gear’ session, January 9, 1968) Songtext
von Cream

Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.
I′m a political man and I practice what I preach
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
So don′t deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.
I support the left, tho' I′m leanin′, leanin' to the right
I support the left, tho′ I'm leanin′ to the right
But I'm just not there when it′s coming to a fight.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.


[Goodbye Cream:]
Hey, hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.
I support the left, tho' I'm leanin′to the right
I support the left, tho′ I'm leanin′ to the right
But I'm just not there when, when it′s coming to a fight.
Political man and I practice what I preach
Political man and I practice what I preach
But I'm just not there, when you′re in my reach.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

Hey, hey, hey
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

Political man and I practice what I preach
But I′m just not there, when you're in my reach.
