Obscene
(sung to the tune of Dolly Parton's “Jolene”) lyrics by: Medgar Fallon Roe
Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!
Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump’s words are all obscene!
Late in January oh so cold
A pandemic was foretold
Trump ignored it as a hoax so mean
When February rolled around
Still his ignorance did abound
He said soon we’d have a new vaccine!
Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!
While he tweeted his politic
Thousands more were getting sick
He thought of just himself there in between
March was just like all the rest
Not enough of virus tests
Poor response became his one routine
Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!
To add to his incompetence
He suggested as our recompense
Disinfectant be our new cuisine
He spoke then of economy
And championed a recovery
Just wants his face on a TV screen
Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!
His insanity for four more years
Raises doubts and harbors fears
About ever getting us a new vaccine
Remove this evil, rabid pox
Do it through the ballot box!
Once again the White House will be clean!
Obscene!
