May 16, Just a Photo-Op with Thee (parody to ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee’)

 (Sing to “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”) (1)

 

Though you’re rotten to the core,

You have cash and can raise more.

Donald, I shall be your whore,

And, I’ll seek a photo-op with thee.

 

Chorus:

Just a photo-op with thee,

Grant it, Donald, is my plea.

Your cult of personality

Means I need a photo-op with thee.

 

I will kneel and kiss your ring,

Even kiss another thing.

I’ll acknowledge you as king,

Just to have a photo-op with thee.

 

Chorus:

Just a photo-op with thee,

Grant it, Donald, is my plea.

Your cult of personality

Means I need a photo-op with thee.

You’re someone I should despise;

Your life’s based on fraud and lies.

Biden cut you down to size;

Still, I need a photo-op with thee.

 

Chorus:

Just a photo-op with thee,

Grant it, Donald, is my plea.

Your cult of personality

Means I need a photo-op with thee.

 

  • “Just a Closer Walk with Thee,” is a classic “Negro spiritual,” that evolved out of American black culture in the 19th We do not know exactly when it began or if there was a specific composer.  It appears that the words and melody were first written down by Kenneth Morris in 1940 after hearing a Negro porter sing it at a train station.  Morris added some words of his own and published the song that same year.  The tune is a standard at New Orleans Jazz funerals in the dirge section of the march.

Imagine Elise Stefanik and Kevin McCarthy singing my lyrics.
