Singing at the inauguration
The 2017 inaugural team appears to be having difficulty booking talent for the inauguration, such that it is my understanding that ambassador posts are being offered as finder’s fees. Well, here I am. Having worked several years for the US government and the United Nations, I would gladly bring my joy of performing, my languages and international acuity to the festivities.
I wanna be on the A-List. I wanna play for the D
At the inauguration in front of the nation on national TV.
I ain’t much for politics and I don’t need any free tics
But after the toasting an ambassador posting would be great to throw in the mix
I wannabe on the A List – not for fortune or fame
It’s a simple thing, I just wanna sing and I’m not worried about my name
Or my reputation from affiliation – just want a relocation and a title to claim.
You say you want the people; not the Woodstock clan
Well, here I am; I’m you man; I need health care & a dental plan
Like what ambassadors – all get for free
And I hear you give a place to live and a very nice subsidy.
I got the resume – the curricula vitae
From Colombia to Somalia, Nicaragua, Isle de Goree
I speak in many tongues, an ambassador who
Has a fluency, cultural literacy, From Lisboa to Peru
Now I ain’t a Rockette, but it’s a good bet
That I can 1-2-3- KICK; 1-2-3- KICK if I know it gets
Me out of the country to a foreign shore
Like Costa Rica, Eritrea, Cuba or Ecuador
I know that Garth Brooks and Elton John
Refused to play, and that’s ok cause with me the show goes on.
I’ll immortalize you with a song or two.
Just say when and where and I’ll be in the air from Quito to Katmandu.
I wanna be on the A-List. I wanna play for the D
At the inauguration in front of the nation on national TV.
I ain’t much for politics and I don’t need any free tics
But after the toasting an ambassador posting would be great to throw in the mix
I wanna be on the A-List; Play for DJT
At the inauguration in front of the nation, you can count on me.
