The Og ADD: I Bought Me a President (Paxton/Fink) (2) RE: ADD: I Bought Me a President (Paxton/Fink) 10 Mar 25


Just pushing it...last line is spoken

I Bought Me a President
Adapted by Bill Ogden from Fink/Paxton (2025)

          1
Well, I bought me a president, yes I did,
                                           4       5
Just a few million, wouldn’t be outbid.
             1                      3                   4       1dim
Now I’m holding all the pieces like a giant squid,
            1
“And if you want any …you’ll get in line.”

Now the government’s a puppet show, how d’ ya do?
They’ll do anything, I want them to,
I’ll fire all the Democrats, just like you,   …and
“I just might fire some Republicans …if they don’t act nice.”

‘Cause the law don’t matter, to a guy like me,
I got more money than I’ll, ever need,
I’m set for tomorrow plus, eternity,
“And it only cost a couple thousand stocks …of Tesla.”

Now, you’ll all be in a pickle, oh, yes you will,
Winter’s coming can’t ya feel the chill?
Gimme, gimme, gimme, well, you know the drill,
“Ask not what you can do …just do it!”

A quarter million people gonna, walk the street,
Looking for a handout or a, bite to eat,
I’ll be in the captain’s chair, ain’t that sweet?
“My way or the highway …gosh, it feels good to say that.”

Now the poor will grumble but I don’t care,
The world is kindly to a billionaire,
Get with the program or I’ll leave you there,
“The preceding has been brought to you by Billionaires r’ Us.”
