The Lyrics
In memory of the late great Pete Seeger.
As Trump performs for endless throngs
His orange face is bloating--
He bloviates his airhead song--
How can I keep from voting?
Though I might like to shtup his wife
And take his daughter boating--
His filthy riches aren't real life--
How can I keep from voting?
He's run a vicious, strange campaign--
Self-funded self-promoting--
Gives narcissism a bad name!
How can I keep from voting?
First he's for something, then against--
First humble, then he's gloating--
You can't mistake him for a mensch--
How can I keep from voting?
He wants to keep the Muslims out--
That's racist and worth noting--
Can't wait to see this loser pout--
How can I keep from voting?
Deporting people with brown skin--
His weird proposals floating--
The KKK's in love with him--
How can I keep from voting?
My MBA, my Ph.D.
Are sources of foreboding--
They're from Trump University--
How can I keep from voting?
I'm running out of trenchant rhymes,
Which stops me from encoding--
Vote one-one-one, it's not a crime--
I can't keep you from voting!
His orange face is bloating--
He bloviates his airhead song--
How can I keep from voting?
Though I might like to shtup his wife
And take his daughter boating--
His filthy riches aren't real life--
How can I keep from voting?
He's run a vicious, strange campaign--
Self-funded self-promoting--
Gives narcissism a bad name!
How can I keep from voting?
First he's for something, then against--
First humble, then he's gloating--
You can't mistake him for a mensch--
How can I keep from voting?
He wants to keep the Muslims out--
That's racist and worth noting--
Can't wait to see this loser pout--
How can I keep from voting?
Deporting people with brown skin--
His weird proposals floating--
The KKK's in love with him--
How can I keep from voting?
My MBA, my Ph.D.
Are sources of foreboding--
They're from Trump University--
How can I keep from voting?
I'm running out of trenchant rhymes,
Which stops me from encoding--
Vote one-one-one, it's not a crime--
I can't keep you from voting!

Worthy of the great Pete Seeger. Should stand up to the Onslaught of detractors.5s.
