SILENT NIGHT
All alone on Christmas day
Oh, Boo Hoo, poor me
By myself in the mess I’ve made
Shed a tear for me
Wandering the empty halls
Who will bring me tea
Someone working without pay
On this Christmas day.
Wife and kid are far away
Having a wonderful time
I’m left here, lower lip stuck out
Determined to have my way.
I’ll stamp my foot and kick the wall
They must all bend to my will
Don’t say I’m wrong if you want your job
I'll kick you off the Hill.
All by myself - where are my gifts
Under the red Christmas tree?
Oh no, there are ten of them
Under which one could it be?
My pity comes in self-made waves
That I should be alone
And suffer for demands I’ve made
For things that can’t be done.
Oh Boo Hoo, feel bad for me
I’m sulking on T V.
I’ve ruined my day and you must pay
That’s how it’s going to be
I can’t admit that they are right
For that means I am wrong
And wrong is not a thing I do
I’ve said that all along
So martyr-me will sulk and pout
And make the people pay
The price for leaving Donald Trump
Alone on Christmas Day.

A little late to finish this.
