(to the tune of Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al”)
And on the 8th day the Lord said “shit, I’m working harder than I thought” …
Day 8 of a Trump parody a day until the election, a re-posting of some of my tunes that I started this past Sunday.
Re-visiting Paul Simon and another one of my faves.
I’m a fan of the “Na Na’s”.

You Can Call Me King
A man lies as he breathes
He says why would you trust another now
Who can you possibly trust
Now I’ve shown you what my facts is
A fascist truth sledgehammer
Nuthin’ else believe-able matters
Other than this con in this con man’s swamptown
(and a-oooh ah-oooh)
Lap dogs in orange swamplight
Here’s a lie-ball GOP go fetch excuses
Newsman, newsman
Get these facts away from me, ya know,
No one finds real truth interesting anymore
If you’ll loyalty me blind
I can be your despot chum
I can call you subject
And subject you adore me
You can call me Czar
This man original Trumper says
There can never be a never me
If there’s a never me they’ll never be
Happy in a sea of me
Where will the answers come from
If I don’t truly be-lieve
Who will I turn to when
The truth slaps me
Awake and awake
To the harsh realities
Of Moscow Mitch’s word marble hypocriteness
Hammers and sickles
Getting stocked up in the open
Along with some of the finest cossack hats
If you’ll loyalty me blind
I’ll let you kneel and kiss my ring
I can call you subject
And subject you adore me
You can call me King
You can call me King
A man late night he’s tweeting
How he’s a victim in this world
Maybe it’s a big blue meanie world
Where they’re just out to get him
And they don’t see his genius
Or see how great he his
The greatest all narcissists
Surrounding himself with nothing more than
Clowns clowns
Who dance for him like marionettes
In a tiny orange circus
He checks the mirror again
Sees Messiah staring back at him
At least that’s what the hacks say
And he so believes them
If you’ll loyalty me blind
I can be your despot chum
I can call you subject
And subject you adore me
You can call me Don
Na-na-na-na-na
Just call me king-na-na
You can kiss my ring na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Loyalties the thing na-na
Better never sing na-na
I’ll take your everything na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Ummmm ah-ah
Ummmm ah-ah
Better give up mind now
Ummmm ah-ah
Ummmm ah-ah
You’ll be just fine now
Ummmm ah-ah
Ummmm ah-ah
Just a matter of time now
Ummmm ah-ah
Ummmm ah-ah
Democracy dies now
If you’ll loyalty me blind
I’ll let you kneel and kiss my ring
I can call you subject
And subject you adore me
You can call me King
