You're So Vain, 2017 Version

All the apologies ever to Carly Simon...but you inspired me.

Here's a parody of "You're So Vain" for 2017.

*****

You walked into the White House
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hair strategically combed
Around your scalp
Your skin it was apricot
You had one eye on your Twitter as
Your feed was spammed by bots
And all of the trolls wished that
They'd be your next block
They'd be your next block

And you're so vain
You probably think Americans want you
You're so vain
You probably think Americans want you
Don't you
Don't you?

You had a university
That failed, you were quite naive
And you tried to sell steaks,
And vodka and things,
But they were not well received
Well you disavowed the things that tanked
And claimed they won bigly
I had a dream
That a clown won the White House
Clown won the White House

And you're so vain
You think the freaking world is about you
You're so vain
You think the freaking world is about you
Don't you
Don't you?

Well I hear you went down to Mar-a-Lago
And played golf, and naturally won
Then you took a vacation at Bedminster
To play more golf because golf is fun
You're on social media all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some ex-Soviet spy
Or your new current mistress
New current mistress

And you're so vain
You fired Steve Bannon, now he will get you
You're so vain
You fired Steve Bannon, now he will get you
Get you
Get you
Get you.

Fin.
