Bumping into an ex-governor

I was walking into an office building, and out came Andrew Cuomo. I recognized him, but it took me a second to put a name to the face.

“Michael Leedy?” he asked.

“Leddy,” I said, “but how do you know my name? I’ve never been in trouble.”

“But I was,” he replied. “And when I was, there were a lot of show tunes about it.”
