At a time when the news is almost consistently upsetting and we can all use a laugh, what could be better than another on-target offering from The Parody Project?
Here are the lyrics, by David Cohen with apologies to Billy Joel:
It's nine o'clock at his hideaway
The burgers and fries are flown in
There's a con man pacing nervously
Watching Fox and re-tweeting their spin
He says, "Sean can you air some chicanery?”
“I’m not really sure of the prose.”
“Then I'll send out some tweets, to help gin up the heat,”
“Before I am forced to depose.”
La, la-la, did-e-da
La-la did-e-da-da dumb
He strings them along, he's a callous man
Strings them along for spite
'Cause, they're all in the mood for debauchery
And he gets them amped up to fight
His lawyers by far are caught in a bind
They give him advice for a fee
And they're quick with a poke, or to send up some smoke
For paychecks that they'll never see
He says, “Hey, I believe they'll be grilling me"
As he pleads for more help from his base
"Well I'm sure that I could be a Russian Czar”
“If the Feds would get out of my face"
Oh, la, la-la, did-e-da
La-la did-e-da da dumb
Now he thinks he's a bona-fide populist
Who seems to have split from his wife
And he's hiding like crazy, some loans that are hazy
We hope that he gets ten to life
And his minions are practicing dirty tricks
As most if not all have been cloned
Yes, they're sharing concerns for their "Holiness"
And are scared to just stand on their own
Strings them along, he's a callous man
Strings them along for spite
'Cause, they're all in the mood for debauchery
And he gets them amped up to fight
It's a pretty sparse crowd for a Saturday
As he spews out more hatred that's vile
'Cause he knows those who came all want someone to blame
So he picks a new group to defile
And his words, they all stick like a barnacle
As his pulpit is used to spread fear
Yet they stand by this fraud with a view that is flawed
And say, “Man, we're so glad you are here.”
Oh, la, la-la, did-e-da
La-la did-e-da da dumb
Strings them along, he's a callous man
Strings them along for spite
'Cause, they're all in the mood for debauchery
And he gets them amped up to fight
Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.

It has to be twice as hard to write words that mimic the original song.
ReplyDeleteMike - that's what makes the stuff from the Parody Project so good!
