The Lyrics

The U.S. press has only intermittent coverage of stories of this flamboyant personality, but Wiki has a detailed summary.
Yo T.O ! radio show - it’s your Mayor
I’m on air with Councillor-frère and some taxpayers,
Pitching woo to voters who live near the ‘9-0-’,
Never ditch pet subway stretch out to Scarborough.

Fairly large, fun bein’ in charge, no burden heavy;
While I’m munching, number-crunchers hunt out ‘Gravy’,
Cancel fees, tax-rate freeze, void ‘Commie’ ‘s surplus,
Small ‘c’ - conserve, big ‘C’ – Condense essential service.

Drill end-runs, petty funds, coach team-students
Ref-provincial thinks ethical imprudence;
Parents miffed, poor kids dissed, sidelined Mayor,
Nearly burned – overturned!! (coach on waivers).

Yo T.O ! back on board - Ford Nation’s Mayor
Still on air with Dougie there and fake taxpayers;,
Ombudsman’s ‘Nay’ ? – friends’ job-favours my nature,
Threat’n her post, thumb my nose at Legislature.

Comic Walsh caused a splash with TV crew,
Invade Burbs, parked by curb, attack-interview;
9-1-1, hoped fuzz come and gonn’ snatch her,
Speech bit slurred, hurled f-word at dispatcher.

Public-stoned, driving-phoned, don’t want chauffeur,
Fracas with a bad-ass streetcar operator.
Retinue, there’s a few drug-scene players,
They’re indebted, ref’rence letters: Office - Mayor’s.

Star Post Globe, spy and probe – Canadian capers,
‘Let them sue me’ – I’m abused by nati’nal Papers;
Just deny damning DUI in Miami -oh
Pressing prob’ - probably some slob shot a video.

But…… Hello Folks, mellow with tokes or martini,
Nay-sayers can’t so easily outsmart me –
Gawker outbid, world got rid of what’s hid -eeoh
Bright son-of-a-gun might’ve connived to buy the video.

Suburbs’ Guy, stuffed with pie, shirt-size jumbo,
Bigger-’n-life, spare no strife, mode crafty-dumb -oh
Sometimes high out o’ camera’s eye, sitting pretty -oh
Might’ve connived, tried to buy that crack-pipe video
Someone my size likely devised t’ buy that video.

A syllable off, here and there, but overall pretty snappy...not an easy sucker to pace.

@AFW: thanks. News update for the Rob Ford saga..... Parody, prophecy proved oracular; Revelations next day were spectacular - Police Chief Blair felt despair , what staff did - eeoh; Simple feat, Undelete, out popped video.
