Thread Name: Songs for the Age of Trump
Subject: Lyr Add: HEY THERE MELANIA (Sebastian Durfee)
This was written, or at least co-written, by my good acquaintance Sebastian Durfee.
    To the Tune of “Hey there Delilah,” by the Plain White T’s, apparently. I don’t know, for certain, I’m not up on Rock music.
    Enjoy,
Kristoffer

Hey there, Melania

Hey there, Melania, what’s it like in New York City,
I’ve been living here in Washington and Damn, this house is shitty,
Yes, it’s true,
Trump tower has a better view,
It’s huger too.

Hey there Melania, I know times are getting hard,
‘Cuz first with Bowling Green, now Sweden,
We’re not safe in our own yard,
We’ll build a wall,
We’ll make it 50 stories tall,
No fun at all,

Oh, It’s lonely in D.C. (five times)

Hey there Melania, all my ratings are tremendous,
But I think I liked it better when I starred on “the Apprentice”
I’m alone,
Why don’t the Children ever phone,
I’m on my own.

Hey there Melania, I’ve got so much stuff to do,
Why did I make so many promises, I’ll never follow through,
It’s just the worst,
Pence keeps reminding me to work,
He’s such a jerk.

Oh, It’s lonely in D.C. (four times)

I said I’d make things great again, now here I am in Washington,
I really only did it for the fame
I didn’t read the overview, there’s actually a job to do,
I miss when this was only just a game,
Melania, I admit to you, I clearly didn’t think this through,
I really thought my life would stay the same,
But now it’s lame.

Hey there Melania, you be good and don’t you miss me,
Four more years and I’ll be home again, and back to winning bigly,
Wait and see,
Just four more years and I’ll be free,
I won’t be stuck here in D.C.

Hey there Melania, here’s to me,
It’s only me.
Oh, It’s lonely in D.C. (five times)
    Repeat refrain on a “Woa” syllable.
