Tips from the gaggle
  • Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
  • If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
  • Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT to the tune of Lucky Man (ELP)

He…has no morals
Just grie…vances galore
Tariffs…and a war
He made…prices soar.

He…started wars
But when…called to serve
He claimed…fake bone spurs
He’ll get…what he deserves.

Oooh what a wretched man he is.
Oooh what a wretched man he is.

He bends…legislation
Through…manipulation
His…retribution
Is mass…confusion

His army’s…called ICE
They’re not men…but mice
Masking…their faces
Apprehending…by races

Oooh what a wretched man he is.
Oooh what a wretched man he is.

He…must like his face
It’s now…everyplace
From dollars…to buildings
A national…disgrace

Oooh what a wretched man he is.
Oooh what a wretched man he is.
