(Scroll down for lyrics…)
Six years after my original song for Miro, I’m back with a new one promoting (now-incumbent) Miro Weinberger’s candidacy for Mayor of Burlington, Vermont (USA).

Miro (Keep the Ball Rolling)
2012 and we were on thin ice
Weighed down by debt and couldn’t pay the price
No future for our city’s Internet
But then the people made a smarter bet
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
He got BT back on an even keel
Made things better for your bike and skateboard wheels
His middle name is “fiscal responsibility”
And works to grow our city’s diversity
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
A plan to make our infrastructure sustainable
And make affordable housing more attainable
Early learning, public health, and Net Zero, too
And every week he’s having coffee with you
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
Oh oh, oh oh, let’s go Miro…

Smart lyrics and a catchy melody, as always. The “oh oh” part is infectious, and really makes the refrain, and hence Miro’s name, stick in your mind, as a good jingle ought to. With a song like this in his sails, how can Miro not win the race!?
Another great song Nato! Time to get your backup singers, the Mirocialites, back together again.
Catchy song, great classic rock meets Elvis Costello sound! Having moved here in the past year, I need the guidance on the upcoming election. Seems like I came to the right place!
