Nothing Burger
Wimpy says it’s just a nothing burger
There’s nothing to see,
no need to investigate further
For over a year,
he’s said there wasn’t no meetings
with the Ruskies
... not that he can recall
Said the media was just making up fake stuff
Only a nothing burger being served up
But now his memory is getting better it seems,
after some damning computer emails started leaking
He says he just forgot about those meetings, that’s all ...
there’s no need for a Ruskie translator to help him recall
Still just a nothing burger, Wimpy say,
because nobody cares about such trivial matters anyway
Possibly compromising national security
ain’t no big deal
Smoozing with the enemy is how business
turns the wheel
Besides, with so much hustle and bustle going on
in a presidential election campaign,
he can’t remember how many Ruskies he’s entertained
It’s just another nothing burger,
never mind what the evidentiary emails claim
And just to show you how upfront and honest Wimpy be,
he’s now coming clean, showing you everything
Full transparency
Only took a year, that’s all,
to start rightly remembering
But what you now see, still ain’t proof of anything anyway
It’s just a big Whooper nothing burger, okay
If that’s all you got, Wimpy say,
if that’s all you see
Then it’s just a nothing burger being served
on a news plate of empty
Oops! I almost forgot ...
Here’s another batch of Ruskie meeting fries,
to go along with that big, juicy nothing burger
Don’t you just love the taste of hot, crispy lies —
Wimpy says with a wink: ain’t no need to investigate further
