Here we go again bein' charmed by every political buffoon,
Promisin' each of us ever'thing, the sun, the stars, the moon!
Looks like Trump and Clinton will be nominated fer the election.
Lord, have mercy on this nation! Ain't very much of a selection!
One who has a proclivity fer flauntin' the truth now and again!
The other who thinks foreign policy is negotiatin' fer hotels in Kazakstan!
One who doesn't know what he's doin' and the other who thinks she does.
I fer one am gettin' very weary of hearin' all their inane buzz!
Oh, that it would be possible to resurrect Reagan as was Lazarus,
To rekindle patriotism and decency in this nation for each of us!
