(To the tune of “Am I Blue?”)

Woke up this morning, long before the dawn…
Without a warning, big tax cuts are on
and you know what’s in store…

Why would they do it
when we all knew it
never worked before?

Are you blue? I am too.
Here they go, one more time,
Whoop-de-doo!

There was a time
some sanity prevailed,
but now I’m
so sad they’d try again,
what has failed
more than once…
Who’s the dunce
in this town
who thinks wealth
trickles down?

Ask the folks gone broke in Kansas,
working poor up in Chicago.
They know better than jet-setters
bending ears in Mar-a-Lago.

Are you blue? I am too.
Here they go, one more time,
Whoop-de-doo!
