Sung to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight


Puleeeze, puleeze, please just go away

Puleeeze, puleeze, please just go away

We lie awake, we lie awake, we lie awake for goodness sake

We lie awake, we lie awake, we lie awake for goodness sake


In the White House the mighty White House

We all can’t sleep tonight

In the White House, the quiet White House

Trump is tweeting tonight

We lie awake, we lie awake, we lie awake for goodness sake

We lie awake, we lie awake, we lie awake for goodness sake


In the office, the Oval Office

Trump’s sitting in the dark

Watching Fox News, he thinks its all true

Smiling in the dark

We lie awake, we lie awake, this is all a big mistake

We lie awake, we lie awake, this is all a big mistake


Hush my darlings, don’t fear my darlings

Its just his mental state

Hush my darlings, don’t fear my darlings

We know he’s really a fake


Puleeeze, puleeze, please just go away

Puleeeze, puleeze, please just go away

We want to sleep, we want to sleep, we want to sleep, we want to sleep

Please just go away…


Well, Harper, here’s another one for ya!
