New Song: "Please Get Well, Mister President" (Patreon)

Amazing, innit -- some songs are timeless; others have a very distinct shelf life. Political satire? minutes. I should have had this ready at least three weeks ago. Heck, it's not quite ready now -- I need to work on the harmony and background vocals, and I'll try to get that done this coming week. But here it is. It could have been biting satire of the moment. As it is? Ancient artifact. Blow the dust off the sucker and give it a listen.

You’ve been calling the corona virus... a hoax all yearTold everybody not to wear a mask... not to live in fearSince then two hundred thousand gone... you won't take the blameand now you tell us that you’ve got it, too... oh what a shame

Please get well, Mister President,This is not the way for you to go,This virus is so nasty, it takes you so darn fast, we’d(rather) have the justice system take you slowPlease get well, Don and Melania,Also thinking good thoughts for Mike Pence.We want you strong and healthy when all your evil wealthyCronies start turning state’s evidence

Any other president would get... the nation’s sympathyBut you’ve told us so many lies... we're gonna have to wait and seeHave you gone into quarantine... the infection for to stop,Or are you trying to bail on the debates... ‘cause you can't help goingWay the hell over the top

Please get well, Mister President,I sincerely don't want you to be sick.Despite the evil I’m seeing, you’re still a human being,And no matter how hard I try, I can't be that much of a dick.Please get well, because we need you,You’ve shown us the Republicans’ true face,It’s longer and it's harder, but we don’t want you a martyr,We’d prefer you get imprisoned in disgrace.

Sure you’ve grabbed the headlines for today, I bet that's really fun.Meanwhile, don't think that we’ve forgotten everything you’ve done:The first debate, where you were like an abusive raging drunk,Telling lies about the Bidens that have been debunked.

You called our veterans losers and suckers ‘cause they served,And keep implying shot protesters got what they deserved,You blamed the fires of California on the people there,When most are on the federal lands that should be in your care.

You keep on saying vote-by mail is somehow rife with fraud,You say the covid scientists use research that is flawed,You even ragged on Biden ‘cause he always wears a maskThough Biden doesn't have the bug that's knocked you on your ass.

The New York Times got your returns and everything looks funny,You pay so little tax because your businesses lose money,You’re ramming through a Supreme Court justice, that takes lots of cheek,And that's just all the stuff I could remember from this week.

You came out of quarantine... a smile upon your faceSaved by hydroxychloroquine... doctors said you were the perfect caseNow it's time to open up the country... schools, sports and malls, no fussGotta work on that herd mentality... after all, aBusiness making money’s more important than us

Please get well, Mister President,You have to get over this plague,There's a dream I hope to get, you in an oubliette,Somewhere in the basement of the Hague.Please get well, Mister President,Imagine those nice headlines when you chooseTo uphold our tradition... of a peaceful transitionOf power to Joe Biden when you lose.

Please get well, Mister President,I can't wait to see your face when you lose.
