July 20, Cleaning Ketchup Off the Wall  (Sing to “Flowers on the Wall”) (1)

 

The kitchen and the serving staff of Donald Trump’s White House

Must be relieved that they’re no longer working for that louse.

It used to be an honor working for the president

But no one warned them of the Donald’s crazy temperament.

 

Chorus:

“Clean the ketchup off the wall,” (2)

Was a pretty common call.

Cleaning up was never fun

After Donald Trump was done

Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner in his dining room,

Be sure to bring….a mop and a broom.

 

While eating, Trump would watch the news, sometimes just sit and stare,

But when displeased, he might explode at what was on the air.

He’d usually watch Fox but if they gave insufficient praise,

Then china hit the walls and floor; you’d see his temper blaze.

 

Chorus: “Clean the ketchup off the wall….”

 

The president liked hot dogs, which could really make a mess,

Walls stained with ketchup, mustard, relish, showed Trump in distress.

They had to repaint all the walls when Joe and Jill moved in.

And all the White House staff prays Donald Trump won’t win again.

 

Chorus:

“Clean the ketchup off the wall,”

Was a pretty common call.

The china breakage rate

Rose when Donald was irate,

And saucers, plates, and cups would fly ‘round his dining room,

They had to bring….a mop and a broom.
