Love, Dignity, Respect
(Words and Music by Tom Hedrick. ©2019 Thomas B. Hedrick / Tom Hedrick Music - ASCAP

Here comes Sonny driving his frickin’ Lexus.
A carefully folded handkerchief and brown shoes.

And he mapped a chart.
With everyone doing their part.
With Love, Dignity and Respect.

He can eagle eye any data to prove his point.
While he hides his money in a double-secret vacuum.

And he kept a secret score.
With everyone doing more on a hidden net.
On a hidden net.

Checking off the line list.
Listening to Miss Manners and Mr. Story.
With Love, Dignity and Respect.

The execution journal,
Has a double meaning for deployment, oh yes it does:
With Love, Dignity and Respect.

Here comes Papa with an ancient scroll.
Wants to do away with the riff-raff, don’t you know.

And everyone took a test.
The bench was weak at best.
But they crave a Cookie, Love, Dignity, and Respect.
