Former Gov. John Hickenlooper, the senator-elect, is purported to have written a song in support of perspective future colleagues in next week’s Georgia runoff.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting on this past year and found myself writing a banjo tune for you,” Hickenlooper said in a fundraising email sent out Monday afternoon by the Democratic fundraising operation.

Imagine Hick with his banjo, and sing along:

“The year is almost over.

The election has been won.

I just wanted to take a minute

To thank you for all you’ve done.

“But the work is just beginning.

There’s so much left to do

To make the United States a better place for you.

“We have to flip the Senate,

And Georgia is the key.

Can I count on you to chip in a dollar or two or three?”

OK, it’s not “Stairway to Heaven.” It’s not even “Free Bird.”
