The ballad of Pence and Trump

Tune: Loosely based on I’ve Got Sixpence, as I remember the melody. Mark Bowman’s performance is not quite as I remember the song. So, you’ll have to improvise. And, add verses.

 

Trump chose Mike Pence,
Indy Govie Mike Pence,
Trump chose Mike Pence,
To be his running mate.

Trump chose Mike for his flair,
For his white and shining hair,
And because he’ll help him make this country grate.

Chorus
He’s no liberal, believe me,
No touchy-feely wimp who'll deceive thee,
He’s a righteous man of God and liberty,
Who’s always trollin’ trollin’ home.

Mike’s a tea man,
A true believin’ tea man,
Mike’s a tea man,
He’s got ideology.

He believes in what’s right,
He’s sure he’s seen the light,
From fact his faith will always keep him free.

Mike’s no liberal,
No touchy-feely liberal,
Mike’s no liberal,
He makes the far right look almost far left.

He abominates the gays,
He says their wicked ways,
Will leave them of the grace of God bereft.

Trump chose Mike Pence,
Indy Govie Mike Pence,
Trump chose Mike Pence,
To make this country grate.

He’ll save us from sin,
But not the looney bin,
If Donald Prez becomes this county’s fate.
