"The Ballad of the Mar-a-Lago Bunch"

(Spoken intro like an old TV theme)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Don

Rich before he started, but he wanted more to come

Then one day he was lookin' at the government game

Said "If I play my cards right, I can double my name"

(Banjo fill)

Power that is… influence… big donations…

(Verse 1)

Well the next thing you know Don's headin' to DC

Said "Y’all come vote and take a chance on me"

Advisors said "Boss you can really score"

When politics opens that golden door

(Chorus)

Mar-a-Lago nights and Washington days

Fundraisers, favors, political plays

Living real large where the lobbyists meet

Making their fortune on K Street

(Verse 2)

Now it's breakfast with billionaires down by the sea

Dinner with senators, sweet as can be

Everybody smiling, everybody glad

Everybody making deals that look kinda bad

(Spoken aside)

"Y’all want a cabinet job? That'll cost ya…" 😏

(Chorus)

Mar-a-Lago nights and Washington days

Private jets flying taxpayer ways

Promises here and contracts there

Funny how money floats through the air

(Verse 3)

They got consultants and think tanks too

Influencers selling a point of view

News folks arguing every night

While donors toast champagne outta sight

(Bridge)

Now some folks cheer and some folks boo

Depends which channel you're listenin' to

But the game stays the same whichever side

Money takes the longest ride

(Break – spoken narrator style)

"Now the moral of this story is simple my friend…

If politics is a business… business is mighty good again."

(Final Chorus)

Mar-a-Lago nights and Washington days

Everybody learning the grifter ways

Climb that ladder, shake that hand

Welcome to the influence band

(Outro)

So if you're tired of working nine to five

Maybe politics is where you thrive

Just bring a smile and a donor list

And learn the ancient lobbyist twist

(Final spoken tag)

"Y’all come back now… and bring your campaign checks…" 😄
