Cool Beans, love your parody! This one is past its prime already, and probably not suitable for marches, but I'll share it here anyway... MAPMAKER To the Tune of "Matchmaker" by Sheldon Harnick & Jerry Bock new words by Vikki Appleton © 10 Feb 2025 Mapmaker, Mapmaker, make me a map Do as I say, fill it with crap Mapmaker, Mapmaker, be a good schnook And make me a rubbish map Mapmaker, Mapmaker, I’ll bring the lies You bring the map for us to revise Fill it with swill for I’m longing to be The Caesar of all I see For Bannon, make it outrageous For Elon, add a swastika too Don’t think of being courageous Just follow the orders I give to you Mapmaker, Mapmaker, make me a map Do as I say, fill it with crap Day after day in DC I’m a drone So make me a map all my own... Donald, oh Donald, have I got a map for you The countries and towns Are all named after you So it’s a nice plan, a good map, true? True It ought to make you happy Your ego satisfy Although it prob’ly won’t Don’t ask me why Did you think we’d make some prints? Well, I do the best I can With no wisdom, no morals, no sense of discretion It’s mad you’ve got a plan! Mapmaker, Mapmaker make it so good I’ll tell you how, I know we could I am a genius but misunderstood So… crown me a king Groom me for doom Find me a mind Map me some crap And make me a hapless map! (Many thanks to Joe Offer for the idea for this parody.)
