The Ballad of Nasty POTUS
Lyrics: Rick Pollay (2020)
POTUS: Secret Service acronym for the transient tenant of The White House
Title concept: bumper sticker seen in Palm Springs, CA

1. Last time you went out to the polls, as you may now despair,
some voted for a Twitter troll with orange face and hair.
He moved his family to the swamp but never built his wall
and then the COVID crisis struck and hastened his downfall.

He has no use for scientists or anyone with facts
The media or experts, too. That’s just how he reacts.
He said it was under control and gave it his own spin
by recommending using bleach and hydro-chloroquine.

(C1)        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
        There’s never been a President quite so braggadocious.
        He thinks that he is super smart but merely is atrocious.
        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS

2. To go by him, the mainstream press is only more fake news,
And we should only read and heed the Twitter tweets he spews.
His tribe of Twits might have regret ingesting all his swill
and taking few precautions to stop from getting ill.

He never keeps safe distance or wears his own face mask.
He doesn’t have a master plan or take on any task.
Even when the death toll grew, he kept on being smug
and said to all: “It’s not my fault.” It’s Chinese bug.”

(C1)        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
        There’s never been a President quite so braggadocious.
        He thinks that he is super smart but merely is atrocious.
        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS

3. He thinks his genes and big fat head make him extra smart
But it operates like a never used and rusty old spare part.
Tests, he says, just make it seem that many folks are sick.
We need to open up the bars and school rooms double quick.

He knows no shame and says the blame is on the Democrats.
That’s why it really hurts the poor, the sick, the old, the blacks.
He doesn’t really give a damn, just as we suspected,
as long as he himself can golf and never get infected.

(C1)        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
        There’s never been a President quite so braggadocious.
        He thinks that he is super smart but really is atrocious.
        Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS

4. Millions now are unemployed and struggle without work.
That doesn’t seem to bother him or touch his little smirk.
The market still looks good to him. Recession can’t be looming,
‘Cause profits from the prisons, guns and HMOs are booming.

So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay.
Just recall this catchy phrase, you'll have a lot to say.
Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
Get out the vote to replace him before he gets ferocious.

(C2)        Get out and vote to spare us from this plight.
        Get out and vote. Reject this parasite.
        Get out and vote. We need some fresh daylight.
        Get out and vote. Get out and vote, while you still have the right! (x2)

When he contracted Covid, I amended the ending to verse 3 ans that Chorus to this:

… and then he got infected!

Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
He thought that he would be immune until this diagnosis
Now he’s taking fancy drugs and some in mega-doses
Super callous fragile racist sexist Nasty POTUS
