The Republican - !!!NEW!!!

Happy New Year! And we start 2019 with another song inspired by a mix-up of lyrics coming to mind.

The Hippopotamus The Republican not by Flanders and Swann
A fat old Republican was standing one day
Resenting the new feminist rise
He grabbed at a bottom that was walking away
And cursed his small hands for their size
Said I can do better at running this lot
I’m so good at business, it’s true
That old Republican thought ‘I’ll win, know I can’
But no-one else thought he’d get through*

Trump, Trump, President Trump
Hair like a mongrel and face like a rump
Oh, horror of horrors
He’s caused so much bother
How long til we get rid of President Trump?

The fat old Republican with power in his sights
With no need to ask others for funds
He’d dispose of healthcare and of course women’s rights
But would not get rid of those guns
The whole world it rose up in angry revolt
And they begged for all the Yanks to see
This great ignoramus so keen to be famous
With no sign of ability

Trump, Trump, President Trump
Hair like a mongrel and face like a rump
Oh, horror of horrors
He’s caused so much bother
How long til we get rid of President Trump?

Though now he’s inducted, it’s not over yet
It’s up to all of us now to show
Though a loophole allowed  him the white house to get
He’s not the one we want there - oh no!
Don’t agree with pol’cies of hatred and greed 
Or letting all the Russians take rein
So gather an army against Mr Smarmy
And don’t let him get in again 

Trump, Trump, President Trump
Hair like a mongrel and face like a rump
Oh, horror of horrors
He’s caused so much bother
How long til we get rid of President Trump?

*Alternate verse ending:
Said I can do better at running this lot
A black president is a farce
That old Republican thought ‘I’ll win, know I can’
And now we’re all stuck with this a-!
