Lyrics
Song 2: “I’m Yuge” sung by President Yuge
The scene changes to the Oval Office.
Narrator: I’m sorry to blind you with all the gold reflections in the Oval Office, but that’s where Yuge is watching the Press Briefing.
I’m Yuge, and I am always right I’m Yuge, and I am spreading fright I’m Yuge, and your pain is my delight And everyone is my stooge, because I’m Yuge
I’m Yuge, my ego is maniacal I’m Yuge, my plan is diabolical I’m Yuge, it’s even demoniacal Though at times I’m a kluge, but I’m still Yuge
B-part: Come to my shining Oval Office In my beautiful White House See the gold sparkling everywhere Though you won’t see my beautiful spouse
Melanie is doing her own thing But not at Mar-a-Lago of the North She keeps a rather wide berth I can’t even get her to go back and forth
I’m Yuge, and my rule is now law I’m Yuge, and my tariffs are without flaw I’m Yuge, would you call it chutzpah But, don’t call me a scrooge, just call me Yuge
I’m Yuge, you’ll bend to my will I’m Yuge, you’ll feel like swill I’m Yuge, and getting “yuger” still It’s playful subterfuge, from your dear leader, I’m Yuge
Tag: Yes, I’m your dear leader, I’m Yuge
Spoken by Yuge: Now, let’s see how that Press Briefing with Leave It is going.

Thank you Tom. I think that in these times writing is a survival skill. Have a great FAMW!
Absolutely obsessed! Lyrics are really clever and humorous and it paired with the gentle guitar is so great!
Thank you for the comments. I appreciate it. This is how I am trying to cope with the current situation.
Having had a chance to preview these, I want to say how impressed I am with the "yuge"ness of the effort. I hold you up as a model of someone who fearlessly mines themes that would stymie most folks. Keep it up, Mike!
