Washington's Broken

[sung to the tune of Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens]

Washington's broken since the first morning

When it was spoken: Hail the new Chief;

Bad news for blacklisted nation Muslims

And beneficiaries of Obamacare.

Blame not the gun laws for all the  gun deaths,

So says the White House, but mental health;

Mocks global warming;

Talks about bombing

Kim Jong-un's people by means of stealth.

Good news for poachers, bad news for elephants
Who had Obama watching their backs;

Snubs his own people, prefers the Russians,
Hates when reporters report the facts.

Washington's broken since the first morning

When it was spoken: Hail the new Chief;

Bad news for blacklisted nation Muslims

And beneficiaries of Obamacare.

Oh When Donald's On His Phone

[sung to the tune of Old MacDonald Had A Farm]

Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o,

What's on his mind will soon be known, e-i-e-i-o,

With a tweet-tweet here and a tweet-tweet there,

Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet-tweet,

Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o.

You'll know he's still up late at night, e-i-e-i-o,

With a tweet-tweet here and a tweet-tweet there,

Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet-tweet,

Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o.

And spelling was of no concern, e-i-e-i-o,

With a tweet-tweet here and a tweet-tweet there,

Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet-tweet,

Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o.

He shoots opinions from the hip, e-i-e-i-o,

With a tweet-tweet here and a tweet-tweet there,

Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet-tweet,

Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o.

He's always waging Twitter wars, e-i-e-i-o,
With a tweet-tweet here and a tweet-tweet there,
Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet-tweet,
Oh, when Donald's on his phone, e-i-e-i-o.

Some Tweets Are "Gee," Some Tweets Are Dumb

[sung to the tune of Tweedledee Tweedledum by Middle Of The Road]

Do you recall some years ago

Up in a tower that was there for show,

Inside his cavern,

Our Donald, he was planning,

There's gonna be a showdown with somebody he loathes.

Well, he's been there a year or so,
And what's been happening, don't we all know?

You'll find him tweeting from his phone every morning,

At night too,  it's a warning,

He's cooking up a storm.

Soon you'll hear ten thousand people shouting,

"Someone, take that phone out from those hands."

If you knew his reasons you'll be doubting

That he'll ever understand.

Some tweets are, "Gee," some tweets are dumb:

The tune detractors always used to hum

Whenever Donald did something only Donald

And no one else but Donald would ultimately do.

[Pa-oomp, paa-oomp, paa-oomp, paa-oomp, paa-oomp.] 6x

Tweet It

[sung to the tune of Beat It by Michael Jackson]

Don't let them tell you not to come around here
Or show your face and that you'd better disappear;

With purpose in your sights and a target that's clear,

Just tweet it, just tweet it.

Don't let them tell you: better run while you can
Or else there will be blood  were you a macho man;

You wanna be tough? Be like Donald J. Trump,

Just tweet it, right or wrong, good or bad.

Just tweet it, tweet it,

Even if you must repeat it;

Show them how spunky and strong is your bite,
What does it matter: spelled wrong or right;

Just tweet it, just tweet it,

Just tweet it, just tweet it.

Don't let them tell you: better leave while you can,

You're only just a boy, don't try to be a man;

Who cares? You're still alive and it's going as planned,

Just tweet it, just tweet it.

You gotta show them you  ain't never been scared
Of playing with your life like ain't nobody dared;

You wanna play rough? Be like Donald J. Trump,

Just tweet it, right or wrong, good or bad. 

[Just tweet it, tweet it,

Even if you must repeat it;

Show them how spunky and strong is your bite,
What does it matter: spelled wrong or right.] 2x

Just tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it, tweet it.

[guitar solo]

[Just tweet it, tweet it,

Even if you must repeat it;

Show them how spunky and strong is your bite,
What does it matter: spelled wrong or right.] 6x and fade
