Tinkle Tinkle

Tinkle, tinkle little tzar

Last night, at a meeting of concerned citizens eager to get politically engaged to stand up for our values, our concerns and the America we believe in, sheets of agitprop parody lyrics were passed around to close the meeting with a lighthearted yet pointed singalong. Provided by Jessica Agullo and John Collins, who run the website NastyWomanStuff, these lyrics (in addition to the nursery rhyme above) very cleverly repurpose songs from the musicals “Cabaret” and “The Producers” that in their original form already made rather pointed comments about the politics of 1930’s Germany, an era whose echoes are reverberating rather too loudly again.

I’ll include recordings of the original as hum-along references for the parody lyrics:

We gather together to TRUMP the truth

The power belongs to me!

Our great constitution is weak and it’s flawed

It need to be trashed as you’ll see

It’s time that it’s handled just like a broad

Whose pussy belongs to me!

I spend my days tweeting alternative facts

I run off with Putin to pee

But no way am I gonna release my tax

The truth now belongs to me!

Springtime for Donald

to the tune of “Springtime for Hitler” from “The Producers”

USA had lost its luster

Losers, carnage, mayhem

Needed a new golden leader

Make it great again

producers

Oh who could that man be?

We asked on bended knee

We looked up high into the sky

And found the man we need

And now its…
