Sing to the tune of A Day in the Life, by the Beatles
I talked to Cruz today oh boy
about the tariffs and fake climate change
he kissed my ass, we had a ball
then I made him feel so small
I compared him to Rand Paul
He keeps his balls locked in a box
he never wears them when he visits me
a Fox reporter stood and stared
they’ve seen this all before
just another mute Republican from a feckless house of gourds
I saw a clip today oh boy
from Sixty Minutes on the Ukraine war
I got so pissed, I shit my pants
Screamed to the FCC
“Why do that to me?”
Why won’t you turn them off?
Woke up, rolled out of bed
raked the hair across my head
found my way downstairs and drank a coke
and looking up I noticed I was late
Grabbed my coat and MAGA hat
made the links in seconds’ flat
hit the fairway with a perfect stroke
somebody spoke so I made them disappear
I read fake news today oh boy
on NPR and from the New York Times
about protestors on the mall
I want to shoot them all
Just how many souls must go to get America to fall?
I love to hate you all
