about

The turn-over at the White House is breathtaking. And it takes a lot of breath to sing this many names.

Parody apologies to Michel Legrand

lyrics

Round
like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning in a really crooked deal
This administration changes in the blinking of an eye
Cuz the White House is a sinking ship where rats jump off to die

Out with Tillerson and Price, In with Azar and Pompeo
Gary Cohn detests the tariffs so he leaves them to Kudlow
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of Trump’s mind

Now John Bolton has replaced Gen’ral McMaster who replaced
Michael Flynn whose resignation had a very Russian taste
Walter Shaub, in charge of ethics, said “Trump’s hopeless! That’s enough!”
So they brought in David Apol so he won’t say stuff that’s tough
Then Rob Porter beat his wives so Derek Lyons took his place
Omarosa, she resigned but then she wouldn’t leave the space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of Trump’s mind

Facts that soon turn into fiction, names that jangle in your head
Why did Priebus go so quickly? Was it something that he said?
Steven Bannon was disgusting and he didn’t like the Jews
Gorka’s wanted for arrest now, but he’s welcome on Fox News
Now defunct Brenda Fitzgerald used to head the CDC
But investments in tobacco put a stain on her CV

Katie Walsh replaced by two men, Joseph Hagin, Chris Liddell
Poor Ivana was replaced by Marla who was offed by Mel

Like a door that keeps revolving in a wicked fever dream
Like the ripples from a toxic rock he tosses in a stream
Michael Dubke quit then Scaramucci came in for ten days,
then Hope Hicks quickly replaced him but she’s leaving anyways
in with Sanders and Bowdich so out with Spicer and McCabe
Out with Comey, Yates, Bharara. In with Berman, Sessions, Wray
As the travesties unwind
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of Trump’s mind.
