"My Way" (Trump's Inauguration Song)
(Sung to the melody of Frank Sinatra's "My Way")
And so, I'm standing here
To say an oath and pledge allegiance.
Though some will cry and jeer
And accuse me of malfeasance,
The fact that I can stand
Before you now in a tough-guy way
Proves that you can be like me
By doing things my way.
Yes, I've stiffed a few,
But that's my disposition.
That's what you have to do
To carry forth your mission.
I knew what I was doing;
I was acting in a sly way.
Just do what I tell you
And do things my way.
You might not like the things I say
Or what I do, but that's okay.
Celebs like me have it made.
Just don't drop the masquerade.
It's all the same; just play the game
And do things my way.
I've had three wives. So what!
I've had just two divorces.
The news? Don't watch that smut.
I've found better sources.
I didn't get this far
By choosing the just-get-by way.
Since life is dog eat dog
Just do things my way.
You never know who you can screw
Until you shift your point of view.
Remember: screw, before you're screwed.
At times be crass; at times be lewd.
Make up the rules; treat them like fools
By doing things my way.
Yes, do things my way.
