Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see what you're doing to me
This MTV is not for free
It's so P.C., it's killing me
So, desperately, I sing to thee of love
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin to see what you're doing to me

Just about 30 years ago, I went to work for the first woman governor of New Jersey. Tonight, I’m exceptionally proud to have voted for the second. Here’s to it being far less than 30 years until we see the next woman governor. Congrats Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social!
