Paul McCartney, if you're out there, all I need is the rights and your voice....

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Russia tweets to me
Clam up, give no answer, except maybe covfefe
When the endless stream of rubles ends up pointing straight at me
Take the Fifth and answer covfefe

Covfefe, covfefe, covfefe, yeah, covfefe
Take the Fifth and answer covfefe

When that evil House Committee says they have to impeach me
Bannon will just tell them covfefe
I’ll call Kush, I’ll call Ivanka, say “gas up the Lear for me,”
Shine on the Bahamas, covfefe!

Covfefe, covfefe, covfefe, yeah, covfefe
Golf the Caribbean, covfefe

When Vladimir comes to visit, hope he has good news for me
Build Trump Tower, Moscow, Ковфифи
Pence can sub til this blows over, Michigan will pine for me
Pine on til tomorrow, covfefe!

Covfefe, covfefe, covfefe, yeah, covfefe
Pine on til tomorrow, covfefe!

But if that's someone who would do it, you all have my green light to send it to him.

In the meantime....I DID do three numbers that anyone who liked this one SHOULD find a lot of fun. Go to this link, and click on the first three songs (in the middle of the page): Dumb Down ("Downtown&quot , a KILLER George Benson soundalike doing a Trump "In D.C." ("On Broadway&quot --our guitarist RIPPED on this one, too, and a great version of Washington, D.C. ("Memphis Tennessee&quot .

I wish I had THAT kind of time on my hands!

But you can check out the link I gave on this thread for the kind of thing I like to do when I can steal the time for it. This Rocky Mountain Mike is definitely a kindred spirit! Is he in Denver? I have to be there later this year. I haven't been back since the Convention that nominated Obama.

Apparently, you can screen friends you want to share with, thus it was not shared with co-workers, and Republican leaning friends, or anyone on FB that I do not want to share politics with.

My dad was on the music committee of the Gridiron Club in Washington for over 2 decades. After he passed away, I started doing it clandestinely for them in his memory, and though they aren't supposed to use material written by someone not in the Gridiron Club (there are only 60, and they all have to be professional journalists), they reached out to me to do some sings for them, and I know that some of my stuff was used in a Gridiron show.

Check out the links to Jango elsewhere in this thread for some more recent stuff that I actually did steal the time for. You might find some fun stuff in there as well. Videos are in the works.

The name "Vladimir" has the stress on the second syllable in Russian, which is why that line scanned. I probably should have mentioned that at the beginning....
