How Come Andy Is Never Home? A Song For Governor Cuomo

This has been a question for many of us in Albany - Is Governor Andrew Cuomo content to stay in the area, or does he have bigger plans? I decided to take this issue on musically, with apologies to Blake Shelton and Michael Buble.

The big criticism with our governor in the press is that it seems that he is out of town more than he's here. The pundits are wondering why, but as we get closer and closer to the next presidential election, it might not take rocket science to figure it out.

I took that angle for my parody of the week. This is a send-up of Michael Buble's "Home," covered also by Blake Shelton.

"Andy Come Home"

Parody of "Home", by Michael Buble

Another empty seat

In downtown Albany

No one answers the phone

The New Yorkers all grown,

The governor's not home

HEY Andy what the hell

Again you're AOL

ll his office phone

And you get a dial tone

We kind of need ha man

You're in Afghanistan

Are you setting the tone

To go off on your own

The Governor's oversea

Meanwhile in Albany

Call his office phone

And you get a dial tone

Nobody home

Is there a reason that we're never seeing you about

There seems to be little doubt

You're still POed at Teachout

But sometimes we feel like noones here to run the show

It makes us kinda mad

Your nothing like your dad

The mansion isn't right

You want a house that's white

With a really big dome

I guess it's well known

Your not coming home

We're getting concerned

Finish your term

Get your ass home

Ironically, in his defense, I found an article on Buzzfeed.com from 2012 that criticized him for the exact opposite reason, saying that he's never tested the waters OUTSIDE of the Adirondacks. Go figure! Only time will tell which direction he will go in.
