Is there no place to cast my eyes and look
Without the mug of the felonous crook
Ranting til he turns red
What was it that he said?
"I couldn't care less!" The attitude he took

He doesn't care if his tariffs raise prices
Obsufcation is one of his devices
Scooby Dubious...

     and cuckolds me like faithless love
as if she's ne'er my god or belle,

Watching the slow journey of his people
leaving their Navajo land
sad Manuelito

He sits tall astride his steed, their leader
saddened by the enforced move

That long, we longed to feel
That atmosphere of dreamed love
What a father gives us, babies

To which ants throng in chains
To which bees throng in droves
And...

Brave Indian warrior
Sitting alone in the woods
In the soft glowing light
Of a low hanging moon
Shining on the mighty river

Brave Indian warrior
Playing the flute
The forest comes alive
Animals waking from slumber
To hear his melancholy tune

Brave Indian warrior
Deep in thought
The music lets him escape
Taking his mind of things
And...

upon the eve o' hallow night
when demons cackle, what a fright!

where black cats eyes appear aglow
in headlights cast, I surely know

that my survival must depend
on garlic necklace, tied end to end

but if these measures aren't enough
to vanquish ghosts and scary stuff

then once again, old tried...

Once Steppes Chief Mongol in a loose hose
Tried to jump Great Wall with horse and Rose
Horse kicked hole in hose goal
Chief bored hole in the Wall
Guess who licked Rose red-in-the-nose?
