The Lyrics
He's pumped up, and nothing gets him down.
Language is rough, but it turns on his crowds
Quite a show, crazy! But it's real
Candidates trading punches, Trump's "Art of the Deal!"
Both playing off peoples' fears
Terrorism, immigration, education, 2016
The economy and debt, the unforeseen
But then the tactics get mean
Cruz vs Trump! Trump!
To Cruz he's a chump!
Attack ad... then a thump!
Wife fights? Ratings slump?
Whoa! Hey Cruz! You ran that? (Super PAC)
Melania GQ scene?
You say you don't know, but here's a Trump Heidi tweet!
Of course you realize this means war
Who cares about the Belgian bombings?
National Enquirer's so mean!
Cruz is mad, he's fuming
Cruz vs Trump! Trump!
To Cruz he's a chump!
Attack ad... then a thump!
Wife fights? Ratings slump?
[Cruz blows a fuse]
[Trump merely amused]
Cruz vs Trump! Trump!
To Cruz he's a chump!
Attack ad... then a thump!
Media loves all this stuff!

it's Cruz v.s. Trump... might as well Trump! (Trump!) 5's
I've had two ideas for parodies simply named "Trump" that I've not been able to work out more than a few lines for, Van Halen's "jump" is of course one of them. Your "Cruz vs Trump" angle was a good move here, I wish I had come up with that.
BTW, take a crack at the other one too if you feel like it, here it is:

David Lee Roth and Donald Trump are two of the people I hate more than anybody else in the world. Why do I hate David Lee Roth, you might ask? Because as an Elvis Costello fan, I officially lost all respect for Diamond Dave when he made that comment that “music journalists only like Elvis Costello because they look like him.”
