Subject: Lyr Add: MR. TRUMP DON'T LIKE IT
Variation on the Beale Street Shieks' great 1920s recording of the Memphis classic from the Boss Crump era, "Mr. Crump Don't Like It" (it's on YouTube)— I see I'm not the first to have this idea, either —

Mr. Trump Don't Like It

Refrain
Well, Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it in here (2)
   Mr. Trump don't like it, we're gonna have it in here,
   Ain't nobody standin' 'round tremblin' with fear,
Uh, Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.

1.
I saw the brother jumped up, turn around and began to shout (2)
   Brother jumped up, an' began to shout,
   Says, I'm so glad they gonna throw Trump out,
Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.

2.
Sister turned around, Brother, why'n the hell don't you hush? (2)
   Sister turned around, Brother, why don't you hush,
   You were the one said Trump was better than Bush,
Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.

3.
Well, I jumped up, turned around and begun to grin (2)
   I jumped up, turn 'round, begin to grin,
   Now ain't you sad you vote to bring Trump in,
Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.

4.
Now they all talkin' Mr. Trump done his coo dee tat, (2)   (coup d'etat)
   They all talkin' 'bout his coo dee tat,
   They linin' up people with a baseball bat,
Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.

5.
You can't have my peches, Mr. Trump, don't you shake my tree (2)
   You can't have my peaches, don't you shake my tree,
   You can't have my freedom, let my freedom be,
Mr. Trump don't like it, but we gonna have it here.
