PARODIES

I'M A DICTATOR

I thought kings were only things in fairytales
Now I know they're good for business too
The world was out to get me (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
That's the way it seemed (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
But then I fixed you all with my schemes

'Cause I won the race, now I'm a dictator
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (with myself)
I'm a dictator, a real fornicator and I lie

I bought the U.S., yes, now I'm a king
Seems the more I lied, the more I got
That's the point of lying! (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
All you get is gain! (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
I'm a dictator without a brain

Now you see my face, 'cause I'm a dictator
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (with myself)
I'm a dictator, free demonstrators, you can cry
Oh (the trickery)

Ah, you were out to get me (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
That's the way it seemed (duh-duh-duh-duh-duh)
My election win haunts all your dreams

And I won the race, now I'm a dictator
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love (with myself)
I'm a dictator, adulterator, I don't lie
Oh (the deception)

Yes, I'm a disgrace, but I'm a dictator
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm a dictator, head amputator, you will die
Said I'm a dictator, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm a dictator)
Said I'm a dictator, yeah (I'm a dictator)
Said I'm a dictator yeah (I'm a dictator)

SUBTERRANEAN HOSTAGE BLUES

She said Pahrump, and that rhymes with Trump
On a trip to the dump
Hauling a load down the road, hit a big bump
Out goes the lading; no sense in waiting, gotta make it to the gas pump

Hearin' some Haydn, which rhymes with Biden
Wanna go ridin'
Been a long time, ain't in my prime, don't need no chidin'
Vote no, vote yes, government is backslidin'

Mugwumps, speed bumps, fat rumps
Don'cha just think it's too much
Voters, jokers, pencil pokers
Don'cha just need a soft touch

No good candidate; wish they would abdicate
No news, good news, not sure to vaccinate
Streaming car tunes, not the kind to animate
Contemplating, procrastinating, what's wrong with the magistrate

Legal eagles not so regal
Scrapping over the law like seagulls
Guilty, not guilty, someone feed the beagle
Ridicule the old fool, bottom of the pool, find a paralegal

Big doubts, dropouts, handouts
Don'cha just think it's too much
Old dogs, big hogs, in the fog
Don'cha just need a soft touch

Barbed wire, car tire, singin' with the immigrant choir
Secrets in boxes, no satire
It's a political quagmire
Conspire, look out for the gunfire, where's the umpire

The right to fight all day and all night
Take away the delight
Add the fright; no more good nights
Forget about hindsight, incite with insight, wait for the indict.

Hostages to the system
We can't restrain or resist 'em
Things are looking mighty grim out on a limb
Let's all sing a hymn

My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing

STORMY

You were the payoff baby, to stay forever quiet
But I cuss you Stormy, today
All of a sudden, that ol' sin's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
I wish it gone today

Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that money, hey

Yesterday's love was like a warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you changed
Now things are dreary, Stormy
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone with the stain
Cussin' your name

Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that money, hey

Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that money, hey
Bring back that money, hey
Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy

SAY LADY, SAY

(Liz Cheney's Theme)

(Bob Dylan Song Parody)

Say, lady, say

Say what's on your mind right now

Say, lady, say

Say it loud and proud right now

Whatever Trump has done

Point it out

Show us what it is

Say it with a shout

Say, lady, say

Say what you know to be true

Say, lady, say

Say Trump lied to me and you

Your fight will never end

Trump will try to run again

His mind is dirty and his-

His hands aren't clean

And you're the best thing that we've

Ever seen

Say, lady, say

Say what Trump has done to us

Why wait any longer for the world to wake up?

We can't have him for another term

Why wait any longer for the truth to come out

The whole world needs to watch him squirm

Say, lady, say

Say what you know to be true

Say, lady, say

Say all the facts you can prove

We long to see you condemn his actions

Condemn him and all his factions

Say, lady, say

Say it now while the time is right

Say, lady, say

Say it before election night

_"BIG DON"_

Every evenin' on the news you could watch him strive
He stood six-foot-three and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda down in the mouth and then he'd just let it slip
And everybody knew it wasn't true but it was the quip from big Don
(Big Don, big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)

Nobody seemed to know why Don faked the truth
Even now while he's getting quite long in the tooth
He's not still, he's not quiet and he's not shy
And the world can't say "goodbye" to Big Don

Someone said he was a god on the level
But it seems he made a deal with the devil
Then came a crashin' blow to the American dream
And on the 6th of January we heard the death scream, Big Don
(Big Don, big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)

Then came the committee lookin' for the facts
When the witnesses all testified to the acts
Lawyers were prayin and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought they'd seen the last of big Don

Through the lies and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked an honest woman we all knew well
Learned from her father, the price to be free
Cheney was her name and she was here to shake the trees

And with all her strength she filled the role
Wouldn't bend an inch to save her sole
Men came forward and women did too
To tell what happened to the Red White and Blue

Was it insurrection or riot or tourists with a reason
Shades of truth with a heap of treason
Mountains of guilt for thousands on that day
Now there's only one left to pay, Big Don
(Big Don, big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)

With briefs and motions they went after him`
But the courts had notions and ruled on a whim
Ahead in the polls and grinin' from ear to ear
But trouble surrounds him year after year

Now we can never let a man like that in office again
We don't need a king with evil on his mind to reign
Appeals any decision that doesn't go his own way
Guilty we know but the devil rules the day - Big Don
Big Don, big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)
Big Bad Bad Don (big Don)

NEVER TRUMP AGAIN
(Blowin' In the Wind)
Song Parody

How many lies must one man repeat
Before we can see what he is
How many times do we question his words
Before we don't know what pleases
Yes and how many people will misunderstand
Before our freedoms he siezes

The answer, my friend, is never Trump again
The answer is never Trump again

Yes and how old must one man live
Before he can no longer serve
And how can this old man make sense
And give us all what we deserve
Yes, and how can he forget what he knows
And embarrass us all with such nerve

The answer, my friend, is never Trump again
The answer is never Trump again

Yes, and how many votes can one man cast
Before he's caught in a lie
And how many machines must break down
Before we ask a judge to decide
Yes, and how can we live in a world
Where freedom is tossed to the side

The answer, my friend, is never Trump again
The answer is never Trump again

By The Time I Get to Washington
(By The Time I Get To Phoenix)
Donald Trump's Campaign Song

By the time I get to Washington,
I'll be older
I'll find the note you left
Waiting in the drawer
I'll laugh when I read the part that says I'm lying
'Cause I should have been there the last four

By the time I'm through with courts and judges
You'll think I'm done
But I'll show you I can be
Worse than the hun
And I'll just keep getting more and more appeals
Just watch me run, what fun

By the time we count the next election
You'll see I wasn't foolin'
And you'll wonder just how I can sleep at night
'Cause I'll lie and cheat
And do anything to win
Even when I'm nothing but a deadly sin

NO MATTER WHAT

No matter what we do
We will always be abused
Doesn't matter what we do, man
I deduce, he will obtrude

No matter who we are
We will always be subdued
Let me tell you what I've found, man
He's a crude man, yes sir

Take down that old oddball
Be a part of his fall
Easy to say, easy to see, harder to do

If he would leave the field
And if we could take it back
All would be lost, all would be lost, all would be lost

No matter who he is
He will always delude
Doesn't matter what we do, man
I conclude, man, we're screwed
