The Lyrics
A lot of promises were made (presumably) and a lot of cash "donated" (absolutely). Now that the dust has cleared and the "best" man won, some chickens are about to come home to roost.
There’s a scam could lead his wife to danger
To every law that’s known she stays a stranger
With every bribe she take, higher grow the stakes
Odds are she won’t live to see inaugural
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Beware of pretty words of good will, seeming
Those that you solicit, they are scheming
Be careful what you say
To those that pay to play
Odds are they won’t be too understandin’
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Queen of all your machinations one day
Wednesday comes, your schemes are done, um, Oy vey
You thought your ship was in
Things are lookin’ grim
Best bet for you now, don the prison grey
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Where did I go wrong?
To every law that’s known she stays a stranger
With every bribe she take, higher grow the stakes
Odds are she won’t live to see inaugural
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Beware of pretty words of good will, seeming
Those that you solicit, they are scheming
Be careful what you say
To those that pay to play
Odds are they won’t be too understandin’
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Queen of all your machinations one day
Wednesday comes, your schemes are done, um, Oy vey
You thought your ship was in
Things are lookin’ grim
Best bet for you now, don the prison grey
Secrets tradin’ ma’am. Secrets tradin’ ma’am
Your “donors” have your number, well now, what’s your plan
Where did I go wrong?

in terms of political parodies, looks like we're... Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Onto Rivers! but seriously, it's no Secret that I'm giving this 455!
Well written, I could hear this in my head, because it's a song that I know. Maybe Hillary Clinton should be on that next flight to Toronto.
