The Lyrics
I started this long ago when the search at Malo-Lago happened, but abandoned it because I thought it would drift out of newsworthiness. With the indictment, it seems to be relevant again.
They Can't Take That Away From Me
The transcript of my chat:
Putin at Helsinki.
Jamal Kashogghi's hat,
No, no they can’t take that away from me
Those letters sent by Kim,
The chocolate cake with Xi.
He loves me, I love him.
No, no, they can’t take that away from me.
I may never share another file
With the Russian spy Lavrov
Still I'll always have the sweetest mem'ries of
Showing the plans for war
To MAGA retirees
And I'd have shown far more
Had Jack Smith not prevented me.
My plans for coup d' etat
Screwing democracy
I stored at my beach spa
The Archives want to take from me
I may never share another file
With the Russian spy Lavrov
Still I'll always have the sweetest mem'ries of
The way I caged those kids
The day I fired Comey
Those things that law forbids
No, no, they can’t take that away from me.
Secrets I've got for sale
Are worth some currency
Peace treaties I derailed
Archivists tried to take from me.
I may never share another file
With the Russian spy Lavrov
Still I'll always have the sweetest mem'ries of
Obstructing this and that
The stuff I got for free
'Cause I'm an autocrat
No, no they won't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me.
