"Community Leaders, continued."
That's Buffalo Bob Johnson,
Real estate magnate.
He wears a cowboy hat and boots,
And speaks with a drawl,
Even though he's from Schenectady.
His wife Shirly Jo
Is President of the D.R.R.,
The Daughters of the Reagan Revolution.
They put flowers in front of the Courthouse
And give the homeless people canned turkey on Thanksgiving.
The Johnsons have three upstanding children.
They're all so polite and friendly.
Marsha was the prom queen this past year,
As well as Murdoch High's most popular cheerleader.
She has three kids and her own house on Country Club drive.
Billy is in the ninth grade and is a
Wizard in the chemistry lab.
We all laugh about it, 'cause he's
Always blowing something up
By mistake.
And Bobby Jr., the eldest, makes us all so proud.
He was captain of the football team
And won All-State honors.
Why, he even became an Eagle Scout
Just before he went into re-hab at the Betty Ford clinic.
Oh, and he met so many famous people there
And got his picture in several nationally respected publications.
It was very exciting.
