The lyrics, via the Washington Post:

VERSE 1

IS HE THAT RICH?

MAYBE HE’S POOR?

’TIL HE REVEALS HIS RETURNS

WHO CAN BE SURE?

WHO NEEDS THIS CLOWN?

VERSE 2

SOMETHING’S AMISS

I DON’T APPROVE

IF HE WERE RUNNING THE FREE WORLD,

WHERE WOULD WE MOVE?

NAME ME A TOWN?

JUST WHO IS THIS CLOWN?

BRIDGE

AND WHEN WE THOUGHT WE’D HEARD IT ALL

HUFFING AND PUFFING ABOUT HIS BIG FANTASY WALL

MAKING HIS ENTRANCE ON STAGE…

HE JUST SHOOTS FROM THE HIP

HE’S FULL OF BULL

HE’S LOST HIS GRIP!

VERSE 3

AND IF BY CHANCE

HE GETS TO HEAV’N

EVEN UP THERE HE’LL DECLARE…

CHAPTER ELEV’N!

WHO’D HIRE THIS CLOWN?

THIS SAD VULGAR CLOWN…

“YOU’RE FIRED” YOU CLOWN!

BRIDGE 2

HILLARY’S KIND…

SMART THAT IS CLEAR

WHILE SHE IS GIVING US HOPE…TRUMP IS SELLING US FEAR

LOOK HOW HE CHANGES HIS VIEWS EVERY TIME THAT HE SPEAKS

IT’S LIE AFTER LIE

CAN’T TAKE EIGHT MORE WEEKS!

VERSE 4

THIS IS NO FARCE

MAYBE HE’S BROKE?

IS THIS “THE ART OF HIS DEAL”

OR SOME AWFUL JOKE?

YOU’VE GOT TO ADMIT…

THIS SILLY HALF-WIT…

IS SO FULL OF ­…
