"My Favorite Bills (a Bernie Sanders version)"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Bernie Sanders describes what it takes to make him feel less cantankerous.
Tune of “My Favorite Things”
(an up-tempo Bernie Sanders rendition)
Fights about health care, debates over fracking
Taxing the rich to get funds that we’re lacking.
Climate that warms as it’s giving us chills;
These are a few of my favorite bills
Closing the loopholes for fake corporations
Hell-bent on profiting from their donations.
Keeping D.C. free of ethical ills;
These are a few of my favorite bills
When your jobs bite
Or some oil spills,
And we’re feeling had
Let’s try to pass some of my favorite bills
And then I won’t act so mad

What you have is good, but there are so many more Bernie "favorites" - protectionist trade bills, unemployment-inducing minimum wage laws, free student tuition. This parody needs more verses!
What John Jenkins said - The original has six verses and two choruses, you left us hanging wanting more from what seems like an excellent parody idea perfectly executed as far as it went.
The author of the parody has authorized comments, and wants YOUR feedback.
