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.
