Day 1409, Pardon Man Is Comin’ to Town (1)
Don’t have to pay bail,
No reason to cry;
You’ll stay out of jail;
I’m tellin’ you why.
Pardon Man is comin’ to town.
Your future was dim;
You’re rotten with vice;
If you lied for him,
Then Trump will be nice.
Pardon Man is comin’ to town.
The folks in Trump’s crime family
Will have a jubilee.
On Christmas morning, they will see
Pardons underneath their tree.
You won’t have to cut
A deal for your crime.
You kept your mouth shut;
You’re doin’ no time.
Pardon man is comin’ to town.
Instrumental break:
You cheated and lied
But for a good cause.
It’s all cut and dried;
Trump’s your Santa Claus.
Pardon Man is comin’ to town.
And rootie toot toot
For every Trump kid;
A pardon’s en route
Whatever they did.
Pardon Man is comin’ to town.
If you were Trump’s attorney
And told us what he’s done.
You will have a rocky journey;
Pardon chances: slim to none.
So, if you conspired
And were not a rat,
Although you were fired,
Don’t worry ‘bout that.
Pardon Man is comin’ to town.
Pardon time is comin’ to town.
