The Lyrics

The very idea that just two alternating families would occupy the White House for 28 of the 36 years between 1989 and 2025 would have been abhorrent to America’s founding fathers. They weren’t enthusiastic supporters of participatory democracy, but they knew a monarchial line when they saw one, and started a revolution to end it on these shores. The presidency was never supposed to be a household inheritance.—Professor Larry Sabato
There’s a putz thing in play; talking, he’s inane:
from that clan that’s botched it twice. . .annoying bane,
brother of feckless clown fobbed by fiat.
we can’t take any more, no,
Been there, done that

There was a second time that that family got in;
we just cannot take it a third time, pray that he don’t win
after the reckless clown; dad first at bat.
We can’t take any more, no,
been there twice, drat!

We’ve already seen
’em twice; elect not former gov.
Reject a scene
the family way? Oh, please leave the race!

So please listen closely, we don’t want a third time;
the country’s still healing from the poisonous clime
of dad and feckless clown, dim plutocrats.
We can’t take any more, no,
been there, done that

We’ve already seen
’em two times, and now the thought of
a replayed scene
the family way? This name let’s efface.

So please listen closely: we can’t take a third time;
the country’s still healing from the ruinous clime
that was handed on down by belfry bats/self-serve rats.
We can’t take any more, no,
been there, done that.
