Mayor Mike: Rockin’ the Mic Left and Right
The Mayor’s kitchen cabinet in full gear, someone remembered the Bears’ Super Bowl Shuffle and lo and behold, a rap penned in honor of Mayor Bloomberg emerged:
“Mayor Mike’s Rockin”
BY ALISTAIR (CHARLIE BIGGS) SEALY
and LENNY (MR. L) MOOREWho’s running the city an’ making it airtight?
I can tell you that nobody cares like Mayor Mike
Make your own way, go against that grain
It takes an independent mind to wanna change this game …
For people who thought he was keepin’ his dough
Saved the Harlem Dance Theatre when it needed him most …
The Board of Ed failed, that remains a true thing
Some are scared to change the way we do things
Mayor Mike is gettin’ with the times
Leaders should be independently inclined
City . . . airtight . . . can’t breathe . . . help!
The forgotten final verse (with apologies to Jim McMahon):
Posted: April 11th, 2005 | Filed under: Political, Tragicomic, Ironic, Obnoxious Or AbsurdI am the funky mayor, known as Bloomberg.
They call me hizzoner, and I’ve got to return.
My funky kitchen cabinet gets into the mix
‘Cause they know I can’t dance, but that I can take the six.
Olympic Committee, I like to tease.
Board of Ed, I make them say please.
Anything about the Jets, any foolish kerfuffle
Is quickly forgotten after the Funky Mike Shuffle.
