Russian Amnesia

All the president’s closest men got it, it’s a specialized strain of Alzheimer This affliction makes you forget you ever met anyone from Russia They just can’t seem to remember ... That is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen Russian amnesia Russian amnesia They just can’t seem to remember talking to anyone from Russia Ask them about ambassador Kislyak: They’ll get that stupefied look in their eyes, and that dreaded amnesia start creeping back Who is he? What does he look like? Is he black? The president’s men done had one too many vodka screwballs that’s for sure They can’t recall ever having any kind of meeting at all To hear them tell it, they wouldn’t sanction that, no how ... no way When you need plausible denialbility, that’s the smart play Just say: I can’t seem to remember, who is that Lavrov guy anyway? Russian amnesia Russian amnesia It’s sweeping the White House like a flu contagion Don’t sneeze, try to breathe slowly And whatever you do, don’t order that type of coleslaw, please ... Funny thing is, they remember everything else perfectly That tricky amnesia don’t kick in, until a Russian investigation inquiry begins At those times, they start not to remember so well Bear in mind, fatal total recall could land them in jail
