Who needs this clown? VERSE 2 Something's amiss I don't approve If he were running the free world Where would we move? Name me a town? Just who is this clown? BRIDGE And when we thought we'd heard it all Huffing and puffing about his big fantasy wall Making his entrance on stage He just shoots from the hip He's full of bull He's lost his grip VERSE 3 And if by chance He gets to heaven Even up there he'll declare Chapter Eleven Who'd hire this clown This sad vulgar clown 'You're fired' you clown BRIDGE 2 Hillary's kind Smart, that is clear While she is giving us hope... Trump is selling us fear Look how he changes his views every time that he speaks It's lie after lie Can't take eight more weeks! VERSE 4 This is no farce Maybe he's broke?
