VINTAGE rick

It was nearly unimaginable back then: Israelis and Palestinians shaking hands on the White House lawn. It's even harder to imagine now. Remember September of '93 in this Vintage Rick!

She Does It Her Way

In the Wee Small Hours of Illusion

By Rick Horowitz

And now, the end is near,
And so I say, "It's just beginning."
The pundits had their fun,
But we're not done until I'm winning,
The race goes to the strong,
To those who live the "Do or die" way,
So no, don't pack it in,
I count 'em My Way.

The del...egates are his,
But there's a diff'rent way to score them,
To put me in the lead,
I've just decreed that we'll ignore them,
We'll say it ev'ry day --
It's just a tiny little lie way
To put me back on top,
I count 'em My Way.


Yes, there were times
When some would shout
That I should quit, I should drop out,
I never flinched, I never caved,
I only slightly misbehaved,
I rocked their boats,
I've got the votes:
I count 'em My Way.

Each day, I soldier on,
I seize upon some new statistic,
The experts all say "No,"
But they're just so
Misogynistic!
The rules are made for chumps,
For those who play that same old guy way,
The numbers make it clear,
I count 'em My Way.

I'm here, I'll stand and fight
Until they come to a decision,
My math is all my own,
I'm really good at long division,
I'm firm, I'm standing tall,
In a "Reject me and I'll cry" way,
I'm master of my fate,
I count 'em My Way.

For what is a plan?
What is it worth?
To grab the greatest job on earth,
I'll say the things that keep me in,
I'll say whatever helps me win,
The record shows
That's how it goes:
I count 'em My Way!
