[C] [Bb] [Bb] How many people here tonight remember Hubert Humphrey?
He [N] used to be a senator.
From time to time you read something about him pinning a medal on somebody or making a speech,
or every now and then you read something in one of those, where are they now, columns.
Whatever became of Deanna Durbin and Hubert Humphrey and so on.
This became quite an issue last winter at the time of Winston Churchill's funeral,
when President Johnson was too ill to go and somebody suggested that he send Hubert and he said,
Hubert who?
[Eb]
And all America was singing.
[Bb]
[Eb] Whatever became [Abm] of [Bb] Hubert, has anyone heard [Eb] a thing?
Once [C] he shone on his own, [Cm] now he sits home alone [Bb] and waits for the phone [Eb] to ring.
Once a fiery liberal [Abm] [Bb]
spirit, ah but now when he speaks [Eb] he must clear it.
Second [F] fiddles a hard part I know, when [Bb] they don't [Ab] even give you [Dbm] a bow.
[Bb]
We [Eb] must protest [Bb] this treatment Hubert, says each [Eb] newspaper reader.
Has [G] someone once [Cm] remarked to Hubert, [Ab] take us to [Eb] your leader?
[Bb]
[Eb] Sorry about [Bb] that.
[Eb] Whatever became [Abm] of you Hubert, we miss you so tell us [Eb] please.
[C] Are you sad, are you cross, [Fm] are you gathering moss, [Bb] while you wait for the boss to sneeze?
[G] [Ab] Does Lyndon, recalling when he was VP, [Abm] say I'll do unto you like they did unto me?
Do [Eb] you dream about staging [Gbm] a coup?
