The Quid Pro Quo Rag – Words & Music by Hank Woji

© 2019 Hank Woji – Thundering Waves Music ASCAP

Quid Pro Quo, Quid Pro Quo,

All the politicians say Quid Pro Quo

But regular folks got a different line

We say I’ll scratch your back you scratch mine

Now, you know what I want, I know what you need

We can make a deal this time

So, keep your mouth shut, and do what I say

And everything will be just fine

Cause, I got a sword hangin’ over your head

You got the wolves at your door

I got a key that will let ‘em all in

Then you won’t be ‘round here no more

Oh, Quid Pro Quo, Quid Pro Quo,

All the politicians say Quid Pro Quo

But regular folks got a different line

We say I’ll scratch your back you scratch mine

So, you better do, like I tell you to do

Consider this your wake-up-call

Cause, I had enough of your half-assed games

It’s time for you to start playin’ ball

A little tit for tat, a little give and take

This ain’t my first TV Show

I’m here to help, you know that I will

But I need a little favor, though

Quid Pro Quo, Quid Pro Quo,

All the politicians say Quid Pro Quo

But regular folks got a different line

We say I’ll scratch your back you scratch mine

So, let’s keep this tight, between you and me

We don’t need the world to know

That I got a plan, for you and my man

To stage a little dog and pony show

Oh, Quid Pro Quo, Quid Pro Quo,

All the politicians say Quid Pro Quo

But regular folks got a different line

We say I’ll scratch your back you scratch mine

Yeah, I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine
