SAN DIEGO — Release the Donald’s Taxes (tune: Deep in the Heart of Texas)

We’ve got the right to shed some light
Onto the Donald’s taxes.
He must disclose what debts he owes
Release the Donald’s taxes!

Please interdict any conflict
We find in the Donald’s taxes.
Why is there stealth about his wealth?
Release the Donald’s taxes!

His lame excuse, audit abuse,
Didn’t deter Dick Nixon.
The IRS could solve this mess.
Release the Donald’s taxes!

It’s not the law, sticks in my craw.
We need to see his taxes.
If he’s a sneak, we need a leak.
Release the Donald’s taxes!
