Christmas from Washington, DC

They fought the war for Christmas
For the faithful to see
Dangling around some ornaments
To distract from a crime spree

Celebrating where they stand
At the White House Christmas tree
Though they all deserve to be
in a penitentiary

Merry Christmas from Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, Washington, DC

Have you last minute shopping
That you've still to do
There's a sale on capitol hill
Three congressmen for the price of two

"Holiday greetings" from the President
Never mind the grammar
He celebrates in luxury
Though should be in the slammer

Merry Christmas from Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, Washington, DC

At the White House Christmas party
They won't say who was invited
Well by this time next year
The guests could all be indicted

Grab a glass of egg node
Inside they'll spread the cheer
Outside blow the dog whistle
And rile up angst and fear

A new year is about to start
They've plans so be afraid
They celebrate in the White House
But belong in a stockade

Merry Christmas from Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, Washington, DC

One day their reign will end
It's just a matter of when
And if there's any justice
They'll wind up in the pen

There's nothing new about leaders
Who should be in the clink
But it may no longer matter
since we'll all soon be extinct

Merry Christmas from Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, DC
Merry Christmas from Washington, Washington, DC
