Washington Between the Sheets

E
Folks are busy in Washington between the sheets;
                              B7
Oh, what Rita Jenrette done between the sheets.
E
Told a bunch of dirt on John, 
A
Went to bed with the stockings on,
B7                             E
Nothing but her stockings on between the sheets.

They're working hard in Washington between the sheets;
Support your local congressman between the sheets.
Support you local congressman,
But not like Paula Parkinson;
She left a video recorder on between the sheets.

  A
Between the sheets they're all the same, 
E
Think of someone else to blame,
B7                                   E                E7
Please forget you heard their name between the sheets.
  A
Between the sheets they make the laws, 
       E
Though each one has his tiny flaws,
     B7                                   E                A - E - B7 - E - B7 - E
They still can't wait to get their paws between the sheets.

Nice how folks can get ahead between the sheets;
Motions made and seconded between the sheets.
Throw a congressman a bone,
He won't have to sleep alone.
If to please him you are thrown between the sheets.

Between the sheets they're all the same,
Think of someone else to blame,
Please forget you heard their name between the sheets.
Between the sheets they make the laws,
Though each one has his tiny flaws,
They still can't wait to get their paws between the sheets.

I know a lady up on the Hill between the sheets;
If she won't do it then she knows who will between the sheets.
Old times they are not forgotten;
It ain't the fish that smells so rotten,
And county's getting what it's always gotten between the sheets.

Between the sheets they're all the same,
Think of someone else to blame,
Please forget you heard their name between the sheets.
Between the sheets they make the laws,
Though each one has his tiny flaws,
They still can't wait to get their paws between the sheets.
And they still can't wait to get their paws between the sheets.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1981)
