The Sound of Trump's Swan Song

My Favorite Things

Grand Jury hearings and subpoenas serving.
Bright shiny badges and federal attorneys.
Brown-papered law firms all tied up with strings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Judicial hearings and pending indictments.
Perp walks and plea deals and flop sweat emerging.
Russians and Saudis that unsheath their stings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Muellers and lawyers all digging up scandals.
Laws being broken by high-placed officials.
Lies and deceptions from Presidents and kings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Chorus:
When the crooks cry.
When they fear bad things.
When Trump's feeling sad.
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I start feeling glad.

Have you thought of submitting it to them? Imagine the staging of the song. It would be an hysterical cold opening.

I doubt if they do that kind of thing, though. They have their own extremely talented writers, I think. Thanks!
