Trump used to dream of elegance
He longed to be respected
But that aspiration has passed
For every classy thing he did
Was haughtily rejected
Now he'll just do Donald at last
Trump's putting all the oicks in one basket
he's betting every penny on deplorable
Trump's putting all his chips on one four-flush
It would be awful but it's so adorable
He's built a fabulous team
Around his huge self-esteem
And those great guys determined
That all the vermin
Is horrible but scorable
Trump's putting all his oicks in one basket
He's betting every penny on deplorable
After the great song by Irving Berlin (1936). If you want to sing it, and I'd certainly think you would, note that all the one-syllable -oo rhymes of the original have been replaced by three-syllable rhymes in -orable; you can get a sense of how it works if you imagine the original with "I'm betting everything I got on you-de-do".
