'When he's Gone' (The Trump Song)

From: GUEST,Joe Rodgers, Bridgeport, Ct.

This new topical version of the famous "Cup Song" ( now renamed the "Trump Song" ^^) just occurred to me, and I had to share:

When he's gone, when he's gone: We're gonna miss him when he's gone.
We're gonna miss the way he talks, we're gonna miss the way he walks:
We're gonna miss him when he's gone.
We're gonna miss him by his hair, we're gonna miss him everywhere:
We're sure gonna miss him when he's gone."

   I wish ( I can dream, can't I?) that someone would make a viral video of this , that protestors would sing it at rallies, and finally ( God willing ) that it would be sung throughout the USA ( and maybe worldwide, too) when the Donald finally leaves the political scene in November. It seems like the best possible reaction to him ( and the best way to perpetuate his legacy) in folk song terms.

The problem is, we won't.

As you say! His TV shows will command bigger audiences.

Yeah, I think this election is all a ploy to boost Trump's TV ratings. If he actually gets elected President, he won't have a clue what to do.
Let's hope we see no more of him after November.

I have a Trump song too. Actually, it could work for many of those with "flexible" opinions that change depending upon the polls. It's called Elastic Man if anyone cares for a quick listen.

Bendy guitar parts are by Sir Dave Gregory of XTC, by the way. One of the most tasteful and imaginative guitarists to pick up a plectrum in my opinion. God I miss XTC...
