Back in the '90s there was a song, "Lump" that I'm trying to re-write as "Trump"

and, oddly enough, it was by a group called The Presidents Of The United States

(original lyrics here)

So, anyway, here's my quick and dirty re-write. Feel free to contribute suggestions, re-writes, or a third verse

___________________
Trump
(to the tune of Lump)


Trump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
totally emotionless except for his part
Mud flowed up into Trump's pajamas
He totally confused all the passing pihranas

He's Trump, He's Trump,
What's on his head?
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump,
It might be dead

Trump lingered last in line for brains
and the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land (<--this needs fixing)
Is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with Rand?

He's Trump, He's Trump,
What's on his head?
He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump,
It might be dead

Is this Trump outta his head?
I think so

Is this Trump outta his head?
I think so

Is this Trump outta his head?

1. Cool! - You got some good parody lyrics going:

Give it time, the rest will come. I believe this song originally was written about Courtney Love.

2. A suggestion...

Instead of, "Is this Trump outta my head?"

Perhaps try, "Is this Trump outta his head?"

After all, he's not some girl we can't get out of our minds, right?

I'd suggest working the line, "Small things so sad that birds could land," into something to do with his hair and birds. Work with landing, flying scared, nesting, and even being eaten/lost.

Like maybe: Wild hair so bad the birds take flight. Or some such thing but better, you get the idea.


I love what you're doing with that! Excellent!
