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 lostDraft 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 lostGirls 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 lostWhen I’m lying
Testifying
I concoct a tale
I look for excuses and others to blame
And, then I won’t go . . . to jailTantrums 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 lostBecause 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 lostCurrency 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 assWhen I’m lying
Testifying
I concoct a tale
I look for excuses and others to blame
But, I still may go . . . to jail
