Douse the Fire (tune: Light My Fire)
By Laurie Baron
You know that this probe had to stop.
You know you should have been more loyal.
I’ll claim I saved the FBI.
Comey, you’ve become my foil.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
Long before your term’s expired.
The time to lift the cloud is now.
The media distorts my branding.
Only I can fix this mess
It’s you, not me, who’s been grandstanding.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
And at dinner you were wired!
You know that I appoint the best.
You’re not the man I would have hired.
Flynn would have been a better choice.
Integrity is not required.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
Comey, baby, you are fired.
Shut up now that you’re retired.
How sad that you conspired In the hoax in which I’m mired. Like in my show, you are fired!
