Music: “A Whole New World” by Tim Rice and Alan Menken
I can show you the wall, shining, shimmering, splendid,
Fox News pundits defend it though it doesn’t yet exist (except it does).
I’ll pull wool o’er your eyes, fake it county by county,
Maybe start up a bounty on those brown folks who resist.
A whole new wall,
A new intensive fence defense,
No one to tell us “no, the law says so”,
We’ve filled the courts with flunkies.
A whole new wall,
As insubstantial as Mike Pence,
Is it brick, steel, or fire? Or concert wire?
I’m not telling till the wall is through.
(There’s no telling when the wall is through....)
Unbelievable lies, indescribable funding,
Big distraction’s the one thing I can do that’s like a skill.
A whole new wall (don’t you dare say it’s dumb)
I’ll put my name on every mile (Hold your breath, here’s the frosting)
I’m like a shooting star thanks to Bill Barr,
No obstruction or collusion, not by me.
A whole new wall, (All our critics are numb)
Golden detention camps with style (keeping up is exhausting)
Sad Democrats enraged that kids are caged,
And only five have died off — we’re not through.
A whole new wall (a whole new wall),
That’s what I say (that’s what we say)
We’ll shut the door, and make a For-
Tress U.S.A.
