The G-Kids Collective: The 47th Donald (Sea Shanty Style)
“A fictional sea shanty inspired by political folklore and pirate tales. Satirical and musical, not affiliated with any campaign or real events.”
[Verse 1]
There once was a man with a golden crest Who swore he’d put the land to the test He said, “I’m back, I’ve won the race!” To claim the forty‑seventh place The tweets flew fast, the crowds they roared While half the world felt slightly floored He raised his tie of crimson red With a sailor’s wink, that’s what he said
[Chorus]
Soon may the Donald come With steaks and tweets and a barrel of rum One fine day when the voting’s done He’ll take his leave and run
[Verse 2]
He hadn’t been back a week or two Before new orders started to brew The critics barked, the lawyers cried But Donald marched with shanty pride He spoke of walls both tall and wide With a cap pulled low above his eyes He shouted “Fake!” at the evening show And told the world what he claimed to know
[Chorus]
Soon may the Donald come With steaks and tweets and a barrel of rum One fine day when the voting’s done He’ll take his leave and run
[Verse 3]
From Mar‑a‑Lago to Capitol Hill He’s chasing down the next big thrill The comeback king of number forty‑seven Stirring storms from sea to heaven For some a hero, some a foe The winds pick up, the tempests grow But love or hate him, all agree He’s the loudest voice on the rolling sea
[Chorus]
Soon may the Donald come With steaks and tweets and a barrel of rum One fine day when the voting’s done He’ll take his leave and run
[Chorus – Final]
Soon may the Donald come With steaks and tweets and a barrel of rum One fine day when the voting’s done He’ll take his leave and run
