Let’s speak in riddles wrapped in mysteries He’s like a skin-disease Watch Nero fiddle, hear the fire- brigade It is already that late Watch that goon He’s way out of tune Watch what he’s doing On a road to ruin Ruin Ruin Ruin Ruin He spills his drivel to the nth degree Fake news, real bombs, and rewritten histor- Reee reee reee reee Raaa raaa raaa raaa Kremlin Gremlin Da da da da da da da da daaa He’s like a skin-disease He’s drenched with antifreeze Adds fuel to the flames Enters the hall of shames Here’s the new czar, aloof, a bizarre spoof This madman’s move is to skirt and hurt the truth Like a dull fiddler on a hot tin roof Hell-bent for finding a pudding in the proof Rooo rooo rooo rooo Raaa raaa raaa raaa Kremlin Gremlin Da da da da daaa In case you wonder, something to ponder Before we go… asunder What’s the word? Destroy, I heard There’s no riddle, just one sick Fiddle (Fiddle, Fiddle) Fiddle (Fiddle, Fiddle) Fiddle Diddle (diddle, diddle) Diddle (diddle, diddle) Kremlim Gremlin diddle (diddle, diddle) Rooo rooo rooo rooo Raaa raaa raaa raaa Kremlin Gremlin Da da da da daaa He’s like a skin-disease He’s drenched with antifreeze Adds fuel to the flames Enters the hall of shames

about

Surplus 1980 Oakland, California
