( New lyrics by Steve Villano, with generous assistance from Paul Simon, and sung to the tune of “Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard.”)
Mama Sonoma rolled out of bed
And she ran to the polling station.
When White Papa found out, he began to shout,
And started the investigation.
“It’s against the law; against natural law,
What the Mama saw, was against natural law.”
Mama ran down, campaigned around town,
Every time the name gets mentioned.
White Papa said “NO,” not a Castro,
I want to stick him in the house of detention.
We’ll we’re on our way, and we all know where we’re goin.’
We’re on our way—we’re takin’ our time, but we all know where—
Goodbye to Crazies, the Deans of Cojones,
See, it’s Hil and Julian up in the White House..
See , it’s Hil and Julian up in the White House.
In a couple of days they’ll try to take me away,
But the Tweets got my story leaked.
And when the radical Right tried to snuff out my life,
We was trending with all social news geeks.
Well we’re on our way, and we all know where we’re goin’.
We’re on our way—we’re takin’ our time, but we all know where—
See, it’s Hil & Julian up in the White House;
See, it’s Hil & Julian up in the White House.
Goodbye to Crazies, the Deans of Cojones,
See, it’s Hil and Julian up in the White House.
See, it’s Hil and Julian up in the White House.
See , it’s Hil and Julian up in the White House.
