Premium Member Border Song Parody

Verse 1
Holy Mayorkas, you have been reproved
I have seen the illegals you are letting through
Distant hordes from down the line
Brand of people who ain’t my kind
Holy Mayorkas, you should be removed

Verse 2
Holy Joseph, you are not believed
Now there’s a coming election and you’ll have to leave
Won’t you please excuse my frankness
But I’ve had it with your senility
Holy Joseph, we have been deceived

Bridge
Slow Joe opened the border for nearly four years
His office and power he abused
I know you don’t care but you oughta
But it’s clear to all you seem a little confused, oh
Holy Joseph, we have been deceived

Verse 3
Holy migrants, let us not increase
Let us strive to find a way to not just catch and release
There’s a man over there, what’s his name? I don’t care
He ain’t my brother, fix the border please, oh
He ain’t my brother, fix the border please, oh
He ain’t my brother, fix it and let us live in peace

Premium Member Anything Samara - a Song Parody

I'll do anything 
for My Girl Samara, anything,
because she means everything
to me, it's true.
I'd risk anything,
for my Ms Everything.
Yes I'll do anything,
anything for you.
Anything?
Would I care for you?
Anything.
Do all your chores too?
Anything.
Would I lace your shoe?
Anything.
Go to Timbuktu?
Anything and back again.
Yes I'll do anything
for My Girl Samara, anything,
because for me you are everything,
and I'll do anything,
anything for you.

Land,Land of the Jews

A duet (Palestine & Israel) in the style and melody of Home On The Range
a humorous satire in song parody of over 4,000 years of jealousy


(Palestine)
Oh, give me a land where no Hebrews stand
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine

(chorus)
Land, land without Jews
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine


(Israel)
You don’t understand, God gave us this land
where Palestine would hate and whine
where seldom it seems, peace is a dream
and Jerusalem should be all mine

(chorus)
Land, land of the Jews
where Palestine still hates and whines
where seldom it seems, peace is the dream
and Jerusalem shall be all mine


a parody to the tune of 'Home, Home on the range"

Governor Brewer From Arizona

Governor Brewer From Arizona 
(song parody based on “Girl From Impanema”)

Short, tanned, governor of A-Z
Wagged finger at the commander-and-chief
That was so tasteless
And very racist
So odd!

Brewer dissed Barack Obama
And said Obama was threatening
Guards should have grabbed her
And teach her manners
By far!

Oh – is he really so thin-skinned?
Oh – don’t she know he’s a gangster?
He – killed Bin Laden with SEAL teams

Then he rescued folks from Somalis
He likes guns and diplomacy

Short, tanned, governor of A-Z
Racial profiling is so ungodly
Tell me what happens
In time
To economies
And brown folks don’t leech
And brown folks don’t leech
