Reluctantly perched at the podium.

Experts tweeting, repeating “He’s dumb.”

Reporters ask questions, red flags go up

Sweating and fretting, we yearn for Barack.

 

Aides stiffly maneuver and jostle for space

Crammed all together on a tiny dais.

Reckless and wild, he bumbles the words

His mind is impotent, his tie length absurd

 

As he lifts the restrictions, the odds go down

That nurses won’t have to buy their own gowns.

His cranium is empty except for one cell

Still driving and striving and making him yell

 

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up

And long ago governors got real fed up

But they’re fighting, uniting, and sharing supplies

And thinking of someway for us to not die

 

Be socially distant

of at least six feeeeet.

We’re all alone (All alone!)

All alone in our time of neeeeeeed

Beause it’s spreading we’re dreading POTUS’s next course

Of action he’s lackin’ perspective or remorse

Be socially distant

 

No concerts, no parties, no restaurants, no sports

We’re saddled with someone stifling reports.

Now taking measures that Trump will demean

Secures us, assures us we can have Halloween.

 

In his mind, he’s still leading, still being real great

We’re hoping next year that he’ll just go away

‘Cause it’s spreading, we’re dreading POTUS’s next course

Of action he’s lackin’ perspective or remorse

 

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up

And long ago governors got real fed up

But they’re planning and banning and sharing supplies

And thinking of someway for us to not die

 

Please be socially distant

of at least six feeeeet.

We’re all alone (All alone!)

In our time of neeeeeeed

Because it’s spreading we’re dreading POTUS’s next course

Of action he’s lackin’ perspective or remorse

It’s spreading we’re dreading POTUS’s next course

Of action he’s lackin’ perspective or remorse

Keep socially distant

Keep at least six feet

Keep socially distant

Ah no, so sad, alright

Oh no, oh no, no, no
