Trump visits NYC, causing a fortune in security costs
and a lot of inconvenience.
TRUMP IS HERE
Tune of “I’m Still Here”
Tempers all flaring,
Wishing the traffic were clear
While
he’s here
Car
horns all blaring,
Somebody
big must be near
Yes,
he’s here
Soon
he’ll be tweeting, watch him sell
How
his big meeting went so well
Then
it’s a ride to the Pier
Yes
he’s here
Philly, Chicago,
Anywhere else would be sweet
But
he’s here
Posh
Mar-A-Lago,
Ain’t
that his normal retreat?
No,
he’s here
He’s
making headlines in D.C.
Facing
some deadlines, golly gee
He’s
trusting health care to his V.P. with no fear
Wheels
there are getting in gear
And
he’s here
(big
finish)
Rumors are swirling,
What’s the next place he will be
Now
he’s here
Harrisburg,
Sterling,
Maybe
Bethesda M-D
But
he’s here
On the Intrepid,
In his Tower
Mood
may be tepid,
At
this hour
But
soon they’ll cheer or they’ll jeer
Near
the Pier
Lord
knows he won’t see the Mayor
While
he’s here
‘Cause
he’s here
Donald’s
here
Trump calls former FBI Director Jim
Comey a “showboat.” Overheard as
background music for the Trump-Comey dinner:
COMEY, MAKE BELIEVE I TRUST YOU
Tune of “Only Make Believe I Love
You”
from SHOWBOAT
Comey, make believe I trust you
Comey,
make believe that you trust me
Others
grump: Donald Trump is colluding,
But could
you
And your
crew
Disagree?
Make believe and stop intruding
Make
believe you pledged your loyalty.
You trust
me, and believe I’ll trust you
Or to tell
the truth, you’re through
Mashing up the Donald Trump exaggeration stories with
“Sweet Charity” being on the must-see shows list as he was taking office:
HEY, BIG TALKER
Tune of “Hey,
Big Spender”
The minute we walked in the place
We
could see you were a man of distortions
A
real big talker
Inventive,
falsified
Some
call it hyperbolic
But
some say that you lied
So let us cut right to the chase
Why
misrepresent
What
everyone can see
Hey
big talker
Talk
a bit more honestly
“How’d you like to have funds?
(Funds,
funds)
Cut
your health costs in half
(Half,
half)
Spread
the wealth around – big time!”
(dance
break, then)
So let us say right to your face
We
can count
And
so can any child of three
Hey
big talker
Hey
big talker
Talk
a bit more honestly
On the proliferation of shows across America working
Trump in, both critically and respectfully, depending on where.
TRUMP UP YOUR
SCHEDULE
Tune of “Brush
Up Your Shakespeare”
These days when you depict royalty
You
hope the crowds will pledge loyalty
And
so you try to be here-and-now
And
hope the right will not have a cow.
So
to heighten the appeal
There’s
a trend that’s really pleasin’
The
subscribers close the deal
When
Donald is in your season!
Trump up your schedule
Put
Trump on your stage
Trump
up your schedule
And
you’re sure to be the rage
When your Sweeney sings out his Epiphany
Make
the props even more Kathy Griffin-y.
When
Eliza and Higgins start bickering
Why
not offer Mike Flynn as their Pickering?
To
make crowds feel more comfy and homey
Have
Trump sing “Let it Go” to Jim Comey.
Trump up your schedule
Put
the Prez on stage
And
they’ll all engage!
And in closing, a salute
to the Therapy dogs people used to
cope with the election results.
HEY, SO WHAT,
SO WHAT?
Tune of “Que
Sera Sera”
When we elected Donald Trump
I
asked my doggie what lies ahead
Should
we try moving, should we stay put
Here’s
what my doggie said
Hey so what, so what
There’s
no need to be distraught
Now
let’s see the food you bought
Hey
so what, so what
Yes,
let’s eat, let’s eat
When we were watching all those Trumps
As
they were talking on CBS
I
asked my dog if he had advice
He
calmly nodded yes
Hey so what, so what?
What
they said to Lesley Stahl
Will
change soon, now throw that ball
Hey
so what, so what
Let’s
just play and eat
Hey
so what, so what
