lyrics

The President’s got the blues
From watchin’ the TV news
Enraged by a press that’s independent
He plots his revenge against the First Amendment
With the First Lady locked in a gilded tower
He’s dreamin’ about a Russian golden shower
And his tweets get crazier by the hour
The President’s got the blues

Bring all the kids, go get Grandma!
It’s time to watch the White House Daytime Drama
A new scandal in every episode
On the Great American Reality Show

The President can’t relate
To the members of the Fourth Estate
When reality hacks, he’s got alternative facts
And allegations of wiretaps
Screamin’ at the news in his silk pajamas
He’s tweetin’ out some serious propaganda
For the Russian bear and the Chinese panda
The President can’t relate

Bring all the kids, go get Grandma!
It’s time to watch the White House Daytime Drama
Fear and loathing in every episode
On the Great American Reality Show

The President gets his views
From the purveyors of the “alt-right” news
Before signing another executive order,
Repealing your health care, and sealing the border,
Condemning the work of the EPA
And the FBI and the CIA,
Then he heads to the golf course and calls it a day
The President gets his views.

Bring all the kids, go get Grandma!
It’s time to watch the White House Daytime Drama
A new scandal in every episode
On the Great American Reality Show
