Never gonna give you up

Rick Astley's song fits any situation, even if we see it as a dialogue between the Chief Executive and his new Secretary of the Interior.
Never gonna give you up
By Marilú Acosta

One of the biggest hits of 1987 was Rick Astley's Never gonna give you up (1966, UK), the lyrics go:

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna lie and hurt you
