Quote, rewrite, paraphrase songs about the Idiot In Chief

You never turned around to see the frowns  
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you  
You never understood that it ain’t no good  
You shouldn’t let other people [commit your crimes] for you

Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people  
They’re all drinking, thinking that they’ve got it made  
Exchanging all precious gifts  
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe

How does it feel? To be going down.

Yes, I received your [transcript] yesterday, about the time the doorknob broke  
When you asked me how I was doing [as President] , was that some kind of joke  
All these people that [I hired], yes, I know them, they’re quite [criminal]  
I had to rearrange their faces and give them all another name

Feelin’ better soon you’ll be through  
Feelin’ better we’ll be done with you  
I learned my lesson, it left a scar  
My vote showed me how you really are  
You’re no good  
You’re no good  
You’re no good  
Donald you’re no good

I’m gonna say it again  
You’re no good  
You’re no good  
You’re no good  
Donald you’re no good

I broke the norms, democracy too  
Well my vote abused rule of law’s residue  
I’ll hope for forgiveness on bended knee  
I wouldn’t blame you if you said to me

“You’re no good  
Your vote could  
Wreck this hood  
Voting Trump’s no good.”

Night after night,  
Fiendin’ to tweet,  
The ass with a smarmy mug is keeping perfectly discrete.

Nobody wants to i-view him.  
They can see that he’s just a tool.  
Cause he never gives an answer.

Cause the fool on the hill.  
Having fun, gaining pounds.  
Helping Vlad run the show.  
While Stephen Miller makes the rounds.  
Well on the way,  
Half way through a hamberder,  
The oaf with a thousand fake tans spewing perfectly berseker. (right - _sue me_ if some of this shit doesn’t scan all peachy)

But none of his base seems to notice,  
They can see he’s not a fool,  
And he never shows his taxes…

Cause the dotard on the hill,  
Sees the Proles going down,  
And the McDee’s that he maowed  
In his gut, spinning round.

Wonder this time when he’s gone  
Wonder if he’s gone to stay  
So much sunshine when he’s gone  
The white house just ain’t his home  
When is he goin’ away ?

I am sure that Lou Reed’s [Dirt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1E06cWL-cw)is about him. It goes like this:  
It’s been a long time since I’ve been spoken to you  
Was it the right time?  
Your current troubles and you know they’ll get much worse  
I hope you know how much I enjoyed them  
You’re a pig of a person, there’s a justice in this world  
Hey, how about that?  
Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality  
Well, more and more people know all about it  
We sat around the other night, me and the guys,  
Trying to find the right word  
That would best fit and describe you and people like you  
That no principle has touched no principles baptized  
How about that?  
Who’d eat shit and say it tasted good  
If there was some money in it for him  
[…]  
You’re just dirt  
You’re just dirt, The only word for you is dirt  
That’s all you’re worth - cheap, cheap dirt  
You know they call it -  
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt  
you’re just - cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt

And that is just the start 😃

Who lives in a white house inside of DC?

Abhorrent and orange and annoying is he

Go to the polls and vote like a fish

\*When I come home, baby  
And I’ve been lyin’ all night long  
I put my daughter on my knee  
And she says, “Donny what’s wrong?”  
She whispers in my ear so sweet  
You know what she says?

She says, “Ooh, Donny, you’re a fool to cry  
You’re a fool to cry  
And it makes me wonder why  
Donny, you’re a fool”\*
