Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: Capt. Telemark Date: 13 Jan 21 - 07:58 PM These songs will seem less relevant in a week. I usually leave out two verses when I sing it, since it is a bit long. Before Mexico pays for the wall I don't claim to be an astronomer, But I'm sure that the stars will fall, And I will win a Nobel prize, Before Mexico pays for the wall It's clear that the climate is changing, Winters now seem more like fall, But I know that Hell will freeze over, Before Mexico pays for the wall. CHORUS We all have wished for something we want, Money , good looks, or good health, But if trump is as rich as he says he is, He can pay for the wall himself. I've never been very athletic, I can't run much faster than a crawl, But I'll win an Olympic Gold medal, Before Mexico pays for the wall. I know I'm not much of a singer, My voice might make your skin crawl, But I'm sure that I'll win a Grammy, Before Mexico pays for the wall. Chorus Shakespeare said all the world is a stage, And that we are players all, And I'll have an armful of Oscars, Before Mexico pays for the wall. I'm not an ornithologist, I can't ID bird calls, But I will fly like an Eagle, Before Mexico pays for the wall. Chorus We should not be governed by hubris, Pride goeth before a fall, But driven by vanity, goaded by Hannity, TRump wants us to pay for his wall. TRump claimed he would balance the budget, He hasn't and he never will, China will finance his spending, And our grandkids will inherit the bill. We all have wished for something we want, Money , good looks, AND good health, But if TRump is so rich, that son of a bitch, Can pay for the wall himself. You can hear it (poorly sung) on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP8FUxfqLrE&t=5s Larry Montgomery |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: Capt. Telemark Date: 13 Jan 21 - 08:11 PM Rake, Rake, Rake Intro: A little more than two years ago, Northern California was under a heavy pall of smoke, but that was nothing compared to the suffering of our friends and relatives and neighbors who lost everything in one of the big wildfires. A little while later, our dear leader came to Butte County to show just how much empathy he's capable of, and to share his vast knowledge of how to prevent more wildfires. I thought his wisdom should be set to music--using that term very loosely. CHORUS (So) Rake, Rake, Rake the forest clean, Make it the cleanest forest floor you've ever seen, Rake it to bare earth, to keep the forests green, Rake, Rake, Rake the forest clean. California is on fire, I need someone to blame, If the earth should shake and quake, my response would be the same, Paradise or Pleasure, who cares about the name, Everything is politics, that's my only game, BRIDGE I'm a forest fire expert, just ask me, Though I don't know which end's which on a Pulaski, I just blurt what's in my head, then I don't know what I said, And, I've never seen the forest for the trees. I cut from Forest management, to spend more on defense, Not defense of people's homes, that would make way too much sense, I don't believe in climate change, and I am proud to be so dense, That's why the right-wing kooks have so much confidence. [Chorus] California lets some river water run out to the sea, It seems like such a waste to let it follow gravity, It ends up getting salty, and full of salmon pee, It would be a better use to dump it all on golf club greens. [Chorus] Hearable on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3_Kg8CQcXQ&t=55s How many of you have ever sung about salmon pee??? A Pulaski??? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: Capt. Telemark Date: 13 Jan 21 - 08:33 PM This is not just about trump, but you might notice a reference to one of his most infamous statements. There is a verse admonishing the ladies to do the right thing, but I can't find it at the moment. Keep It In Your Pants It's not pleasant to discuss this, but I really think I must, You know there are some famous men, we thought that we could trust, Men of wealth and stature that seemed to have good sense, But we know now, they don't know how, to keep it in their pants. CHORUS So, keep it in your pants, guys, keep it in your pants, Whether you're at work, on the bus, or at a dance, Keep it in your pants, please, keep it in your pants, But we know now, they don't know how, to keep it in their pants. When you're the boss of someone, and you think you'll have your way, The power is not balanced , there are no shades of gray, You think she's so impressed with you, she'll welcome your advance, But when in doubt, don't whip it out, just keep it in your pants So, keep it in your pants, guys, keep it in your pants, Whether you're at work, on the bus, or at a dance, Keep it in your pants, please, keep it in your pants, When in doubt, don't whip it out, just keep it in your pants Don't grab 'em by the pussy, don't pat 'em on the butt, Just think how you would feel if someone grabbed you by the nuts, Keep your privates private, don't act like a dunce Take a tip, keep it zipped, just keep it in your pants So, keep it in your pants, guys, keep it in your pants, Whether you're at work, on the bus, or at a dance, Keep it in your pants, please, keep it in your pants, Take a tip, keep it zipped, just keep it in your pants When You meet a lovely lady, and you hope you can connect, You've got a better chance, if you treat her with respect, If the lady you are wooing doesn't welcome your advance, If uninvited, not requited, just keep it in your pants. So, keep it in your pants, guys, keep it in your pants, Whether you're at work, on the bus, or at a dance, Keep it in your pants, please, keep it in your pants, If uninvited, not requited, just keep it in your pants. And there's a special situation, that's got a Scottish lilt, Would all you Highland laddies, please keep it in your kilt, Keep it in your kilt, lads, keep it in your kilt, Would all you Highland laddies, please keep it in your kilt. Hearable on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H52KIkBbsRk&t=2s |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: Charley Noble Date: 05 Jun 24 - 05:42 PM Sally Rogers and Charlie King were singing their own version of this song, to the tune of "Sixteen Tons. I'm asked them for their verses. This is as far as I got last weekend: By Charlie Ipcar, 5/1/2024 Tune: “sixteen Tons” Thirty-Four Felonies Thirty-four felonies and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt; St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cos’ I can’t wait, I’ve sold my soul to be Chief of State! It was early one morning, cloudy and cool, Trump pulled up to the court house, addressed the press pool; “I’m an innocent man and this trial is a joke, And you’ll soon see who’s been blowing thick smoke.” The jury filed in, their verdict in hand, Trump rose up and straight did stand; “Thirty four felonies,” the court clerk tolled,” The judge scratched his head said, “Well, bless my soul!” Notes: For years tRump supporters have rejected the charge that "he had no convictions." Since last Thursday afternoon, around 4:30pm, they must feel vindicated as he racked up 34 convictions, all of them felonies. Next stop will be sentencing, July 11th. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: GUEST,henryp Date: 09 Jun 24 - 09:34 AM From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; "Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954. The song describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump (the father of the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump). Although the lyrics were written in 1954, it was never recorded by Guthrie. In January 2016, Will Kaufman, a Guthrie scholar and professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, unearthed the handwritten lyrics while conducting research at the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In December 1950, Woody Guthrie signed a lease at the Beach Haven apartment complex owned and operated by Fred Trump in Gravesend, Brooklyn. There are several handwritten drafts of the lyrics with titles such as "Beach Haven Race Hate" and "Beach Haven Ain't My Home". In its lyrics, Guthrie expresses his dissatisfaction with Trump and the "color line" he had drawn in his Brooklyn neighborhood: I suppose Old Man Trump knows Just how much Racial Hate He stirred up In the bloodpot of human hearts When he drawed That color line Here at his Beach Haven family project Similarly, an unreleased variant of Guthrie's "Ain't Got No Home" protests Trump's segregation at Beach Haven. 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! According to scholar Will Kaufman, Guthrie "thought that Fred Trump was one who stirs up racial hate, and implicitly profits from it." In Guthrie's notebooks he wrote about wanting to put an end to the segregation with "a face of every bright color laffing and joshing in these old darkly weeperish empty shadowed windows." |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: The Og Date: 10 Jun 24 - 10:40 AM Those Gallant Red Hats (G). Tune = After the Ball was Over author = Bill Ogden After the votes were counted, after the deed had been done, Many a heart had been broken, vic-try had still not been won. “Hold on,” our bold leader urged us, “just bully those weak bureaucrats, Never give in for an instance, keep wearing those gallant red hats. Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, all can be turned if we press, Law suits, and recounts, and lying, cheating, subversion and stress. Keep up the pressure on Georgia, push on ‘til others fall flat, All of the nation will know you, in your gallant red hat.” After the mob has all gone home, after the smoke fin-ly clears, Gone is the strength of our people, gone are the brave volunteers. Gone is the voice of our leader, purged from its old habitat, All I have left of this glory, is my gallant red hat. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: GUEST Date: 14 Jun 24 - 04:57 PM Richard Thompson's 'Fergus Laing' does not mention Trump by name, but is clearly based on him: Fergus Laing is a beast of a man He stitches up and fleeces He wants to manicure the world And sell it off in pieces He likes to build his towers high He blocks the sun out of the sky In the penthouse the champagne’s dry And slightly gassy Fergus Laing he works so hard A'busy as a bee is Fergus Laing has 17 friends All as dull as he is A'17 friends, a'17 wives All the perfect shape and size They wag their tails and bat their eyes Just like Lassie Fergus Laing he builds and builds Yet small is his erection Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair When the wind’s in the right direction The wind's in the right direction Fergus Laing and his 17 friends They live inside a bubble There they withdraw and shut the door At any sign of trouble Should the peasants wail and vent And ask him where the money went He’ll simply say, it’s all been spent On being classy. Fergus Laing he builds and builds Yet small is his erection Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair When the wind’s in the right direction The wind's in the right direction. Fergus’ buildings reach the sky Until you cannot see ‘em He thinks the old stuff he pulls down Belongs in a museum. His fits are famous on the scene The shortest fuse, so cruel, so mean But don't call him a drama queen Like Shirley Bassey |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: BrooklynJay Date: 15 Jun 24 - 05:50 PM I wrote this a few months back when Trump was first indicted. The tune is In the Jailhouse Now. BTW, when I do this song I do it like Leon Redbone with hat, dark glasses and false facial hair. Seems to fit! In The Shithouse Now (New lyrics by Jay Pearlman) 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 downtown! 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!” (That's fine!) He’s in the shithouse now! He’s in the shithouse now! His face looked meaner and meaner When the judge said, “Grab ‘im by the subpoena!” 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! (That clown!) 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] |

Subject: ADD: Impeached, Indicted, and Convicted (Block) From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Jul 24 - 10:24 PM Here's a classic Trump parody from Elizabeth Block: IMPEACHED, INDICTED, AND CONVICTED (Elizabeth Block) [to the tune of: Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered]
But I've always had success Now, though I try not to show it I'm a total mess All my life I've lied and cheated Bullied my way to the top How could I ever be defeated Why should I have to stop? I'm riled again Reviled again By women whom I have defiled again Impeached, indicted and convicted am I Been ditched again Unhitched again Another staff member has snitched again Impeached, indicted and convicted am I Republicans have turned against me Their mistake, you'll agree Some have even Mike Penced me They're worse than Nancy Pelosi Caught again Distraught again The jury and judge can't be bought again Impeached, indicted and convicted am I Been booed again And screwed again Why do they all say that I'm lewd again Impeached, indicted and convicted am I I'm stuck again Out of luck again Oh shit, they've called me a schmuck again [Or: All I can say is, Oh fuck again] Impeached, indicted and convicted am I
That they thought I might lose There's no way, but if I do I'll just blame the Jews I'm stumped again Been dumped again My aces all have been Trumped again Impeached, indicted and convicted am I Tune: Richard Rodgers, from "Pal Joey" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: GUEST,Rob Mad Jock Wright Date: 16 Jul 24 - 04:56 AM This one is not just about Trump but he features in it. Rats in the Chamber Rats in the Chamber snakes in the grass Parties in the garden whisky in the glass Leaks from the main pipe holes in the floor Life on the slide again banging on the door Whispers in the men’s club sneering in the car Vile words and images cocktails at the bar Anger in the back street graffiti in the hall Disempowered voices ringing of the wall Schemes in the boardroom pervert on the screen Violence in cyberspace faces never seen Cracks in the pavement sinking through the hole Hunger in the heartland sickness in the soul Sharp double dealers on the greasy climb Liars and charlatans wading through the slime Poison in the undergrowth toxins in the air Leper in the alleyway dying in the glare Rats in the Chamber snakes in the grass Truth in the garbage whisky in the glass Siren cuts the darkness crying in the night Better run for cover or brace yourself to fight.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: Tattie Bogle Date: 05 Nov 24 - 10:51 AM Here's the one I wrote in 2017 before and after he was elected as President: I asked some American friends visiting Scotland if it would be OK to sing a song about him: "So long as it's nothing complimentary", they said! It's not! The second verse refers to his big golf complex at Balmedie, near Aberdeen. TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP © Lyrics Trish Santer Tune: Nellie the Elephant From New York A travelling businessman came, But not an intelligent elephant, No, a bloke with a funny name, Mop of hair, And face with a very fake tan, O what a farce, he might well pass For an outsize orang-utan. Donald, th’orang-utan packed his cart And trundled off to the golf course, Off he went with a trumpety-trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Doesn’t want wind farms to blight his view But happy to knock down some houses, Said he was doing it for everyone’s good, Trump, Trump, Trump. But soon bigger things were calling, far, far away, He put himself up as a candidate In the US election fray. BUT, that was in April, and no-one believed That Donald would ever pursue it: Now you must agree how wrong you can be, Trump, Trump, Trump. Night by night, He’d rant and point and rave, When Donald was up on the podium He looked so proud and brave, Dirty tricks Yon Donald did perform But yet he just deluded them And took the crowd by storm. What a palaver for months on end, Touring all over the country, Hillary missed out Wisconsin, oh dear, but not Trump, Trump, Trump. Lawyers and FBI all muscled in To ride on this huge roller-coaster, Vote for the “lesser of evils” they said, not Trump, Trump, Trump? The Mexican border was calling, far, far away, He’ll send all those immigrants building his wall, And leave them the other side of it, And then he’d make them pay for it – (same tune) While others are fleeing to Canada, The moon or Mars or Australia, What kind of country will America be, with Trump, Trump, Trump? On he went, Trampling others down, He only had one goal in life, To take the President’s crown. Just how many people did he offend? Which makes it such a mystery That they voted for him in the end. All other candidates whittled away, He had to face up to Ms Clinton, TV debates, all fuelled with hate, Trump, Trump, Trump. Misogynist, racist and bigoted perv, And don’t mention emails from Hillary, Lies and distortion, all out of proportion, Trump, Trump, Trump. Washington DC was calling, not so far away, He’ll be in The White House by January, What horror, is all I can say. BUT now he is lining up missiles and ships And pointing them at North Korea, Just keep your hands well off pussies and buttons, Trump, Trump, Trump! |

Tomorrow will you be gone? I wonder if one day that, You'll say that, you care If you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string I may win on the roundabout Then I'll lose on the swings In or out, there is never a doubt Just who's pulling the strings I'm all tied up to you But where's it leading me to? I wonder if one day that, You'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string I wonder if one day that, You'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string Like a puppet on a, string Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Bill Martin / Phil Coulter Puppet on a String lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Unison Rights S.L.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: GUEST,keberoxu Date: 05 Nov 24 - 07:00 PM I can't think of one just now, but surely there must be a Flanders & Swann song that could be adjusted to become a Trump song. All I can think of at the moment is the coda to the Elephant: "Practicing me trumpet half the night ... And I'll stick in the elephants' nursing home 'Til I get me memory back!" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Trump songs From: GUEST Date: 06 Nov 24 - 05:13 AM Over the Falls
Over the falls we go, Look out good people below. Fasten your seatbelts and pull up your socks. The drop will be steep and there's bound to be rocks. The captain, to no one's surprise, Is scoffin' down burgers and fries. It's all hands on deck, and look out below, It's over the falls we go! Nobody knows what to do anymore, Nobody here has a clue. We see him come in, we see him go out, We hear the boss scream, and we hear the boss shout. We know things are never his fault. We bring him a chocolate malt. He's happy just watchin' that box And getting his ass kissed on Fox. So over the falls we go, Look out good people below. Fasten your seatbelts and pull up your socks. The drop will be steep and there's bound to be rocks. The captain, to no one's surprise, Is scoffin' down burgers and fries. It's all hands on deck, and look out below, It's over the falls we go! It's all hands on deck, and look out below, It's over the falls we go! (Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2018) |
