Almost everyone has seen “The Sound of Music” and will remember the song “My Favorite Things”. Now, Tony Olson, a poet and satirist has reworked the song for Hillary Clinton called “My Favorite Excuses” that details her losing the presidency for a second time.
Here are the words so you can sing along:
Hillary Clinton – My Favorite Excuses (Parody)
(Sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)
Top secret data purloined by a gremlin
Misdeeds exposed with some help from the Kremlin
Wikileaks published the e-mails we tossed
These are a few of the reasons I lost
Draft beer and vino and vodka martini
All disappear like I’m friggin’ Houdini
It’s not a secret . . . I like to get sauced
These are a few of the reasons I lost
Girls in blue dresses with DNA traces
Bill has me threaten the girls he embraces
With my assistance he’s free to accost
These are a few of the reasons I lost
When I’m lying
Testifying
I concoct a tale
I look for excuses and others to blame
And, then I won’t go . . . to jail
Tantrums and breakdowns and fake tears with tissues
Obvious signs of some medical issues
Fainting and stumbling and eyes that go crossed
These are a few of the reasons I lost
Because of my gender I think I’ve been slighted
There’s a good chance that I may be indicted
Image as cold as a New England frost
These are a few of the reasons I lost
Currency laundered through Clinton Foundation
Influence peddling that threatens our nation
All the offenses I’ve seemed to amass
These are the reasons that Trump kicked my ass
When I’m lying
Testifying
I concoct a tale
I look for excuses and others to blame
But, I still may go . . . to jail
