Stop me if you've heard this already

This is brilliant.

Dave Brown, deputy defense editor at Politico, posted the above tweet last night. 

Despite there already being bunches of new parodies out there — the Intertubes do tend to work fast — several FB friends asked that I write a version.

Live to serve.

(to the tune of “Escape [The Pina Colada Song]” by Rupert Holmes)

I was tired of the crazy

We hear from President Trump.

Like a worn out recording

Of monkeys taking a dump.

Then he talked to Zelensky

On a telephone call

And though the transcript ain’t perfect,

I got the jist of it all.

We got subpoena coladas,

From gettin caught in Ukraine.

We got a crazy old foggy

Who only has half a brain.

And he likes tweeting stuff at midnight

And making jokes about rape

Here’s the dirt that you’re looking for,

Just impeach, he won’t escape.

So the stuff I reported

Came out in just a few weeks.

As I hoped and expected,

All of Washington freaked.

And the Donald responded

With an official note.

It showed up in the paper,

It was the same thing I wrote.

We got subpoena coladas,

From gettin caught in Ukraine.

Now we add Giuliani,

And he’s flat-out insane.

He says to praise him as a hero,

Leaving newsmen agape.

These guys both need straitjackets,

So they cannot escape.

So we’re just getting started

Everyone’s getting tense.

In it up to their eyeballs,

Are Pompeo and Pence.

It only took one blown whistle

To start a big avalanche.

Now the reckoning’s coming

For the executive branch.

We got subpoena coladas,

From gettin caught in Ukraine.

Then Trump calls Schiff a traitor,

With his very good brain.

And he keeps on digging deeper,

We’ve got the video tape.

Can you say President Pelosi?

I don’t think they’ll escape.
