Mitt the Magic Mormon  hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease
Old Willard Marriott loved that rascal Mitt
Joining in  his off shore schemes and other spurious shit, oh

Mitt the Magic Mormon hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease
Mitt the Magic Mormon hid hiUs money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Willard kept a lookout for the Coast Guard on their tail
Drug king pins and porno queens would bow wherever they came
Swiss bankers rolled out the red carpet when Mitt roared out his name

Mitt the Magic Mormon hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease
Mitt the Magic Mormon hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease

A mentor can't live forever but passes on his toys
And Mitt tries to teach that shit to his own little boys
One night it happened and Willard could play no more
But without his mentor, protege Mitt was just a feckless bore

His horned head bent in sorrow, his split tail felt the pain,
Mitt no longer had the gruff to  continue work at Bain
Without his lifelong friend, Mitt could not be brave,
Until he devised a plan, 
about a country he could enslave, oh

Mitt the Magic Mormon hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease
Mitt the Magic Mormon hid his money over seas
And politicked in the US, while evading taxes like disease
