August 17, Git Along Lizzie Cheney (1)

 

Liz Cheney’s vice chair of the 1-6 Committee.

The Capitol suffered a Trumpist attack.

But showing that Donald stirred up insurrection

Has angered her voters, who just called her back.

 

Whoopie ti yi yo, git along, Lizzie Cheney.

It’s your misfortune and none of my own.

Whoopie ti yi yo, to the ranch, Lizzie Cheney.

Your Wyoming voters have just sent you home.

 

Liz Cheney thinks Trump is a crook and a liar.

Malicious, seditious, he stirred up a mob,

Attempting a coup after losing to Biden,

Which Cheney will prove, though the price is her job.

 

Whoopie ti yi yo, git along, Lizzie Cheney.

It’s your misfortune and none of my own.

Whoopie ti yi yo, to the ranch, Lizzie Cheney.

You hope that a prison will be Trump’s new home.

 

Republicans tolerate Trump’s insurrection,

For decades of crimes, he has left a long trail.

But now Merrick Garland has lassoed the Donald,

He’ll brand him, indict him, and send him to jail.

 

Whoopie ti yi yo, git along, crooked Donald.

It’s your misfortune and none of my own.

Whoopie ti yi yo, a new home for the Donald.

He fears that a jail cell may be his new home.

 

Liz Cheney is right-wing and Dad was the devil.

Yet she still has ethics, though God knows from where.

She’s smart and she’s tough and that angers her voters;

For Trump to face justice, they say just ain’t fair.

 

Whoopie ti yi yo, git along, Lizzie Cheney,

It’s your misfortune and none of my own.

Whoopie ti yi yo, to the ranch, Lizzie Cheney;

Wyoming’s Trump voters have just sent you home.
