This is meant to be a homage to The Bare Naked Ladies Brian Wilson. Just screwing around, as always. Feeling a bit inspired. This one turned out to be a first draft mess, but it was fun to try to tell a story in verse.
Reince Priebus
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
refreshing Twitter
I see on my screen
news that’s so depressing
ebb and flow of history has its way
of grinding you into pulp
especially with this government
run by a dolt
soon enough I got a chuckle
hearing of Reince Priebus
having to crush a fly
for the guy with the fake hair
who tweets all day
putting us all on edge
that the end is near
suddenly I heard a cry from
the other room
I rushed into the room
rushed into the room
like Priebus to crush a fly
like Priebus to crush a fly
for that horrible guy
for that horrible guy
I discovered it was nothing
someone had just squealed
when the TV had announced
The Mooch was a lout
and Priebus was on his way out
oh this that all I said
you scared me for a moment
you had me rushing into the room
like Priebus to crush a fly
like Priebus to crush a fly
for that horrible guy
for that horrible guy
I worry for the fate of the Republic
thinking this may be the end
is it possible we’re autocracy
not as free as we were before
before the golfer grifted his way
to the Oval office where Priebus
[bridge]
where Priebus rush into the room
to crush that fly, crush that fly
but I’d like to think that’s not the case
I’d like to think we’ll be free again
we’ll all have to rush into the room
like Priebus to crush a fly
like Priebus to crush a fly
for that horrible guy
for that horrible guy
so we’re doing to have to defend our freedom
like a sad sack crushing a fly
quick as can be belief you me
we’re a city on a hill
at least that’s my view
if we have to rush into the room
like Priebus to crush a fly
that’s already by me
