The Lyrics

To a town that’s known for whores
came a man insane’s can be,
with his Family and wife
and their planned plutocracy.
Uday, Qusay are his sons,
couple clownish progeny.
And to Putin he’s enslaved…
goal: to squelch democracy.

We once lived in a swell democracy,
squelched theocracy, squelched autocracy.
We now live in a hell autocracy,
hell kleptocracy, squelched democracy.

Ghastly friends he’s brought on board,
an abhorrently claquish corps,
scammin’ band of pay-to-play.

We once lived in a swell democracy,
quelled theocracy, quelled autocracy.
We now live in a hell autocracy,
hell kleptocracy, felled democracy.

(“Full speed ahead, Mr. Bannon; pull sheets o’er head!”
“Full speed it is, Jefe—
oops, I’m sorry: ‘Fuehrer,’ make that!”
“That’s better!”
[Loose] cannon, “canon.”)

We’ll soon give up being free…
worse than Tricky Dick’s sick coterie.
Vilest crew you’ll ever see
in our squelched democracy.

We once lived in a swell democracy,
swell democracy fell very quickly
We now live in a hell autocracy,
hell kleptocracy; melts, democracy.

Good parody. I hope it can stay online long enough before the Chump tries to censor the Net. The "election" night on here had the worst cyberattack I've ever seen. I've always loved the original song, we sung it in music class in elementary school. Now the term "yellow submarine" is a slang term for a marijuana cigarette.
