THE DEAL MAKER (July '95)

He walks the dusty corridors
Of power every day
You want a deal, then listen
To every word he says

Holy men swarm the government
While money casts a spell
It will cost you some, but hey!
Think of it spent well

At the top there's a man who leads
Do you want his "go ahead"?
It can be had, he knows how
Put some butter on his bread

All the while a nation waits to
Feed a million hungry mouths
"I've done my bit", says he
"I know what its all about

He makes the right connections, so
Let the money change hands
The deal is fixed for sure
The news will hit the stands

Anything at all can be done
If he wishes it be so
He knows the right people
Everyone, high and low

For he is the deal maker
The man behind the scene
Now he is here, now he is gone
Can you guess where he has been?
