Tune: I’ll Never Fall in Love Again
SAN DIEGO —
What must you do to get a pardon?
It’s not required that you’ve repented.
Or that your lying has not relented.
Don’t ever heed the law again!
Don’t ever heed the law again!
What must you do to get a pardon?
It’s doesn’t matter if you’ve killed civilians,
Or cheated on taxes to keep millions.
Don’t ever heed the law again!
Go ahead and commit perjury.
If it clears the Prez, you’ll be free.
‘Or if you abetted his Russian collusion.
Just deny it to sow more confusion.
What must you do to get a pardon?
It helps if your son married his daughter.
Or if your brother owns Blackwater.
Don’t ever heed the law again!
Don’t ever heed the law again!
