TRUMP IN A SLUMP (alternate title: TRUMP TAKES A DUMP)
by Pussygate Galore

I did not kiss her on a plane
I did not kiss her on a train
I did not kiss her on the lips
I did not grab her by the hips

I did not grope her in a pub
I did not grope her at my club
I did not push her towards the bed
Or any other thing she said

        I will sue them for their lies
        I will not apologize
        If stupid floozies cannot see
        No one respects them more than me

I was not crass, I did not flirt
I did not reach beneath her skirt
This is a vicious Clinton smear
I am the only victim here

She is ugly, she is ill
Bet she cheats on Cheatin' Bill
I will lock her in a cell
With that loudmouth (bleep) Michelle

        So that foreign-born Obama
        Has to do it with a llama
        I will make them all repent
        As soon as I am president.

I sing this to a tune that starts off like "Jimmy Crack Corn" and ends up like "Big Rock Candy Mountain." It can also be sung to "Hernando's Hideaway," in which case the title could be "Donaldo's Hideaway." You'd have to finesse the last verse:

So that foreign-born Obam-
A has to do it with a llam-
A -I will make them all repent
As soon as I am president.

I wonder if it would fit to the air of Willie McCrea which I thought of when I read the Trump slump lyrics. http://www.itma.ie/goilin/song/willie_mccrea_sean_mone

(not to be confused with another song about a different Willie Macrae ,http://www.eventgoat.co.uk/helensburgh/3000-trees-the-death-of-mr-william-macrae/ first link is to lyrics)

Hmmmm. I didn't see the tune notes when Holly emailed me the lyrics, so I was imagining this to be recited like a Dr. Seuss book.

Did you know that Dr. Seuss re-wrote Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now? to encourage Nixon to resign?

HOLIO (Than Thou)
Tune: Sweet Betsy From Pike

There are many very spiritual people in Mendocino.


I am so holy and kindly and wise
Folks come from miles to gaze in my eyes
Sit at my feet and you quickly will see
No one is half as enlightened as me.
        Singin’                        Holio, holio holio ho
                                Everyone loves me wherever I go

When my friends need me I always am there.
I always listen and I always care
I always text them and email them too
I’m not a burnt-out old hippie like you.
                                        Holio, holio holio ho
                                        Everyone loves me wherever I go

That stuff you’re eating, I used to eat that.
It made me bloated and stupid and fat
Eat what I eat, and you surely will see
You can be brilliant and slender like me.
                                        Holio, holio holio ho
                                        Everyone loves me wherever I go

That stuff you’re smoking, I used to smoke too.
It got me high and then it made me blue
Quit your addiction, and have some mint tea
You can be clean and clear-headed like me.
                                        Holio, holio holio ho
                                        Everyone loves me wherever I go

I help the needy and I volunteer
Everyone tells me they’re glad I live here
Except the deluded and drug-addled few
Who like to hang out with a loser like you.
                                        Holio, holio holio ho
                                        Everyone loves me wherever I go
