The Lyrics
Trophy ho's and golden hair
An Aryan god descending stairs
A businessman beyond compare
I looked at Trump that way
But now he's dad to moron sons
He tweets and dumps on everyone
Except for Putin and Jong-Un
And Proud Boys, they’re okay
I'm done with Trump, his raging tweets
He knows he lost, but won't concede
It's Trump's delusions I'll recall
While Biden works, Trump's out
At golf
Beers and cheers and feeling proud
To say I'm Irish right out loud
St. Patrick's Day and barroom crowds
I loved my DNA
Then I researched my ancestry
And did the 23 and me
Now I'm part Black and Cherokee
And Jewish, I'm afraid
My family comes in colors now
Got three nice kids, white, black and brown!
My race confusions I confess,
There's no such thing as race
I guess
Tunes and loony parodies
I get all ones--not even threes!
Despite satiric expertise
I make the Ones Guys' day
And now the comments trickle in
They say "You suck!" or "Where you been?"
So many lawsuits, not one win—
I'm posting anyway
I'm getting votes from Ones Guys now
I dump on Trump, he has a cow
My entertainment’s been this fall:
Apparently, Ones Guys
Lack balls
An Aryan god descending stairs
A businessman beyond compare
I looked at Trump that way
But now he's dad to moron sons
He tweets and dumps on everyone
Except for Putin and Jong-Un
And Proud Boys, they’re okay
I'm done with Trump, his raging tweets
He knows he lost, but won't concede
It's Trump's delusions I'll recall
While Biden works, Trump's out
At golf
Beers and cheers and feeling proud
To say I'm Irish right out loud
St. Patrick's Day and barroom crowds
I loved my DNA
Then I researched my ancestry
And did the 23 and me
Now I'm part Black and Cherokee
And Jewish, I'm afraid
My family comes in colors now
Got three nice kids, white, black and brown!
My race confusions I confess,
There's no such thing as race
I guess
Tunes and loony parodies
I get all ones--not even threes!
Despite satiric expertise
I make the Ones Guys' day
And now the comments trickle in
They say "You suck!" or "Where you been?"
So many lawsuits, not one win—

I dump on Trump, he has a cow

Great parody! Finally, someone has the cajones to take down Joni Mitchell!! I never understood why some people idolized her. She should have gone comedic instead of serious...and on top of that she's from Canada!
Thanks, Bad! Who knew Joni could be taken down by large boxes?
I wouldn't waste my energy to even vote on this dung heap of a write.
Thanks, Joni! Feeling "Blue"?
I found the focus shifts (trump>genetics>voting/comments) less than ideal, but the song choice and pacing are quite good. Some funny lines too. Full fives.
Not at all. Apparently whoever stuffed your ballot box with 22 ones for each voting category must be feeling very blue indeed. You should demand a recount. I do not have a dog in this fight. I just dislike poorly written parodies.
Ok, Joni, sorry I couldn’t court your vote. But at least I sparked your interest.
Hear that, Bob? That sound is The Hissing of Summer Lawns. They're hissing at your dreadful puns. Don't make any more or so Help Me, I'm gonna call for a Big Yellow Taxi and go home to California
What the hell did you do to upset Joni, Bob? She's over at my place saying she's Blue .. and that your puns are like tattoos
A bit scattered, but some interesting ideas and good rhymes. I don't get the lawsuit bit, but I guess that's an inside joke? The ethnicity section is a bit unclear as far as the point of view...
Hey, Joni! Wow, you again! Glad you turned on me, I feel like a radio now.
Oh, and also, maybe you’d like to meet me at the Proud Boys Boogaloo Anti-Antifa March tomorrow in Portland? We could find a table in the shade, and sip our tea and dodge grenades, and watch the morons on parade!
I think of this as a Judy Collins song. The pacing is right on target. The first three stanzas convey what a lot of us Trump supporters feel about him. We are just more afraid of what Joe Biden's entourage will do once they go 25th Amendment on him. I like the line about "really no such thing as race at all". Putting that into law would solve a lot of problems. I never get any comments any more. Consider yourself lucky. As most long time readers know, I don't pay any attention to numerical votes. Only what someone takes the time to express in print.
