Scott Pruitt (To the Melody of Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’)
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO — Why must you always fly in first class? Or need a booth with soundproof glass? Your number of guards strikes everyone as crass. You blew it, Scott Pruitt!
A lobbyist believed you were heaven sent. That’s why you paid such a cheap rent. The time has come for you to really repent. You’ll rue it, Scott Pruitt!
Just screw it, Scott Pruitt.
Act like Tom Price and do it.
You’re just a flunky, part of Trump’s swamp,
Merely a pawn in a pay for play romp.
We knew it, Scott Pruitt.
Eschew it, Scott Pruitt.
Undo it, Scott Pruitt.
Adieu it, Scott Pruitt.
You permit factories to pollute the air. You think that climate change is just a big scare.
If lead is in our water, you don’t seem to care.
You’ll rue it, Scott Pruitt!
You better quit, hand in your resignation.
Stop misspending money, and rescinding regulations.
You want to serve Trump, but what about the nation?
You blew it, Scott Pruitt!
Just screw it, Scott Pruitt.
Act like Tom Price and do it. You’re just a flunky, part of Trump’s swamp,
Merely a pawn in a pay for play romp.
We knew it, Scott Pruitt.
Eschew it, Scott Pruitt.
Undo it, Scott Pruitt.
Adieu it, Scott Pruitt.
