When you Google "idiot" you get a picture of Trump. There just gotta be a song in this:

A parody with apology to Stan Rogers

                THE IDIOT

I often make these late night rants when I should be sleeping sound
And the truth to tell I can lie like Hell though my lips they make no sound
I jump to my feet and on Twitter tweet to the fan base that I found
They all love me for they're fools you see and there's idiots all around

Some say I'll fail and I'll go to jail but that's not how it goes
I'm worry free for Pence will be the POTUS I suppose
And he'll pardon me and set me free so screw it to my foes
For just like me you all will be idiots I suppose

If you want to write a heinous song about a truly despicable person choose:

Billy Gohl

Hellbound Glory - Streets of Aberdeen - the ballad of Billy Gohl - by Leroy Virgil

[Verse 1]
Once there was a gangster who ran this shippin' town
Sailed you up the Wishkah set up to drown
They say he killed a hundred, but only two were found
The rest walked the waterfront, shadows on the ground

[Chorus]
Out 'cross the water sirens sing
"Goodnight Ilene, oh I'll see you in my dreams"
All who are found wanting will be drawn beneath
Come back as the ghosts who haunt the streets of Aberdeen

[Verse 2]
Once there was a singer who stole the siren's song
Ripped it from the riverbank and sang all night long
But the water don't forgive you once you've done her wrong
Just another rainy day, they found him dead at dawn

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If we all die tomorrow, send us out to sea
Let those simple songs come back in harmony
Set those poor souls free on All Hallows' Eve
Shine a little light on the ones who don't believe.

[Chorus]

'm so indicted
I'm gonna bite it
I'm in a shipthat tipped and I just can't right it.
So it's decided
I was...misguided?
They know, they know, they know, they know, they know, they got me, they got me

I'll get a lawyer, and I won't take chances
They're gonna offer me some kind of deal
Just plead exterminating circumstances
Or maybe like Cohen, I will squeal

Right now I'm freakin', leakin'
Right into my trousers
If I tattle, that'll
Lead to both of you
Don't go down that trail
I'm too old for jail

Don't be short-sighted
Then help me fight it
Well, if we have a good excuse, hey, I think they'll buy it
I think I'll try it...

I am not a crook
I did not have sex with that woman,
the Biden, Soros mission
is now accomplished
I'm in deep shit








Take Me To The Pilot
Song by Elton John

Can you feel that's real, I'm on trial
And now I'm here in your prison
Like a stone in your shoe
I am charged with high treason
Through my syes my throne
Is now a danger zone
Take me to the White House for control
Take me to the White House of your soul
Take me to the White House
Lead me through the chambers
Take me to the White House
I am not a stranger
Take me to the White House
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the White Houser
I am not a stranger
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Well, I knowt I'm not old
as I'm told, I'm not a stupid virgin
I am smart not dumb.
What I'm told is never, never for certain
Through my eyes, its my throne
Its in the danger zone
Take me to the White House for control
Take me to the White House of your soul, yeah, yeah
Let me out of prison
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the White House
I am not a stranger
Take me to the White House
Lead me through the gate house
Take me to the White House
I am not a stranger
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

I wrote this right after Trump got indicted. Actually, the song sort of wrote itself. It is, of course a parody of In the Jailhouse Now. My wife insisted I make a video of it, and I did, channeling the late, great Leon Redbone. If enough people are interested, I can provide a link.

In The Shithouse Now

There once was a guy named Donald J. Trump,
Long arm of the law thumped Trump on his rump,
He thought he was the smartest guy around;
Well, it was a Witch Hunt or worse day,
Indictment came down on a Thursday,
He’s headed for the hoosegow way down-town!
   
He’s in the shithouse now!
He’s in the shithouse now!
Grand Jury said it ain’t funny
To pay a porn star hush-hush money,
He’s in the shithouse now!

[Bad yodeling]

Angry fist he was pumpin’,
American flag he was humpin’,
The Golden Arches was his favorite shrine;
He’ll get throw’d in jail,
Melania won’t go his bail,
The judge done said “Sedition’s next in line!”

He’s in the shithouse now!
He’s in the shithouse now!
Grand Jury said it ain’t funny
To pay a porn star hush-hush money,
He’s in the shithouse now!

[More bad yodeling]

Stormy went Hubba-Hubba!
Maybe Trump’ll get a cellmate named Bubba!
And Alvin Bragg’s the toughest guy in town;
The D.A. said it was rash
To have your lawyer slippin’ her cash,
Looks like Chester Cheeto’s goin’ down!

He’s in the shithouse now!
He’s in the shithouse now!
Left your MAGA pals in the lurch,
Now it’s fingerprints and a cavity search, (Ow!)
He’s in the shithouse now!

[Still more bad yodeling]

I did find one song titled "He's In the Shithouse Now" by Stephen Baird:But I didn't find Jay's. Jay, the public demand is overwhelming. We gotta hear the bad yodeling....

-Joe-

P.S. I Googled "Idiot" and found no photo or mention of Trump. How soon we forget.

Old Man Trump
Words by Woody Guthrie Adapted by Ryan Harvey, Music by Ryan Harvey
Contact Publisher - Woody Guthrie Publications/BMG Chrysalis
I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
   
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

Considering that Trumpty Dumpty is not due to be back in court until December, this gives all those budding songwriters out there plenty of time to get to work on those ditties!

The only problem, as I see it, with very timely songs is that they are, well... timely. Sometimes they date rather quickly.

But, don't let that be a deterrent - start writing!
