Ballad of the Loser

Ballad of the Loser

Here is the story of Teflon Don,

Red-blooded, All-American big-time con.

Here is the story of lifetime crime,

And how he was convicted and it’s about time.

Somehow he could go White House wandering,

After fined for money laundering,

And somehow was not largely shunned,

After pilfering from a children’s cancer fund.

This is the story about Teflon Don,

34 counts down and we’ll press on.

Still haven’t been tried for all your crime,

Think you should think about some downtime.

Voted in after repeated racist attack,

This pussy-grabbing rapist maniac.

And after misappropriating the campaign chest,

Republicans still didn’t send their best.

Mocking disabled and veterans alike,

Out in the open setting up a Reich.

Selling cheap baubles to keep up the grift,

And the minions never know how much they’ve been stiffed.

The continuing story of Teflon Don,

34 counts down and we’ll press on.

New York had always known you were slime,

Think you’re about ready for some downtime.

Now there’s Fani down in Georgia and Jack Smith too,

Watch Don rearrange a lawyer or two.

Down one case already and three to go,

Donny, will you try to hide in Mar-a-Lago?

The sordid story of Teflon Don,

34 counts down and we’ll press on.

Most of the country wants to clean up your grime,

Maybe you should plan on what to do with your time.

The end of the story for Teflon Don,

The one-time, big-time, longtime con.

Will it be one year, or two, will you do a dime?

The end of the spree and it’s about time.
