Did you see de Kids questin Madum Di-Fi—
catchin’ her befo’ she cud spin de big lie…?
Lawd, de ‘tude an’ disdain she cudn’t cunseel
show’d her true colors on de Green New Deal…
She tolt ‘em dat she know’d whass bes fo’ dem—
jus’ lak Miss Nancy, Cap’n Steny, an’ Unca Jim!

De Dems dinosores an’ will soon be ekstink—
Wit de Republikkkans who dey nod and wink
De chillen say, “NO water’d-down resolution!”
Lak dey ‘bout a decade ‘way frum revolution!
Way dey peepin’ de Dems' bull-scuses an’ lyin’

Questin is: when de shoes gonna start flyin’?
