Speak softly now, and say you’re loyal to the Don
And say Mike Flynn is someone you’ll go easy on
You won’t repeat these things I’ve said
It’d be a shame to find a horse head in your bed
Now that Jeff Sessions, there’s one guy who we could lose
I thought I made an offer he could not recuse
Now from the room, he’s exiting
I feel like I could work with you - we’ve got that thing
Just think of all the golden things I’ve built
Must be my consciousness of gilt
These Russian “water sports” of which this memo speaks
Are you investigating who’s behind those leaks
Don’t look at me - I’m sqeaky clean
Just took the rubles out of the washing machine
Here is my hand for you to lay your lips upon
And I feel certain you won’t disrespect the Don
And say Mike Flynn is someone you’ll go easy on
You won’t repeat these things I’ve said
It’d be a shame to find a horse head in your bed
Now that Jeff Sessions, there’s one guy who we could lose
I thought I made an offer he could not recuse
Now from the room, he’s exiting
I feel like I could work with you - we’ve got that thing
Just think of all the golden things I’ve built
Must be my consciousness of gilt
These Russian “water sports” of which this memo speaks
Are you investigating who’s behind those leaks
Don’t look at me - I’m sqeaky clean
Just took the rubles out of the washing machine
Here is my hand for you to lay your lips upon
And I feel certain you won’t disrespect the Don
