LYRICS
by Don Caron


You didn’t have to lie ‘bout what you did
but you did, yes you did.
and it sank you
You never even did the stuff you said that you did
you just lied
So we’ll spank you
You said about Obamacare, "Repeal and replace!"
Never meant a word of it just pandering to your base
Promised to pass the greatest-ever healthcare bill
But left conditions preexisting as a license to kill

Mexico never paid for a wall
Not at all, as I recall
And they thank you
Didn’t lower cost for the drugs people need.
Dropped the ball.
Pharma thanks you
No infrastructure bill to fix the bridges and streets
Even though you said that you’d have all the receipts
Didn’t lower taxes for the struggling class
America first transformed into America last

Failed to ebb the deficit you did,
in your last pro quo quid
Your donors thank you
Fizzled on the swamp drain
Yes you did. Who’re you trying to kid?
Swamp Critters thank you
Delivered nothing, got impeached a couple of times
Even though you still maintain you didn’t do no crimes
Planned an insurrection that was convoyed by a coup
All that time in office that’s the best that you could do

Swamp Critters thank you
Pharma thanks you
Your donors thank you
