The Lyrics
I remember some fifty-five weeks of lies
Since you put your hat into the ring on the campaign trail
Wait until November
When your party is quite surprised
To find you with the right-wing pearls on some Fox detail
You were spewing out some noise to scare
When we heard about the Khan affair
We said oh no
Banning all Muslims won’t do
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool
Hill supporters protesting outside your door
Soon they’re gonna be in rooms with White House email
You can’t stand her
(Like) Rosie and Megyn before
Acting like the evil queen(s) in your fairy tale
Well, I hear your babble but I don’t know,
You’re gonna build a Wall ‘round Mexico?
We said oh no
Putin & Russia want you
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool
California makes you the nominee?
That’ll be the day we’ll hear the whole country wail
Tried to warn you
About Timmy and Hillary
But we can’t seem to get through to you that you will fail
Well, I hear your babble but I don’t know
You’re gonna build a Wall ‘round Mexico?
We said oh no
Donald & Michael won’t do
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool
Since you put your hat into the ring on the campaign trail
Wait until November
When your party is quite surprised
To find you with the right-wing pearls on some Fox detail
You were spewing out some noise to scare
When we heard about the Khan affair
We said oh no
Banning all Muslims won’t do
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool
Hill supporters protesting outside your door
Soon they’re gonna be in rooms with White House email
You can’t stand her
(Like) Rosie and Megyn before
Acting like the evil queen(s) in your fairy tale
Well, I hear your babble but I don’t know,
You’re gonna build a Wall ‘round Mexico?
We said oh no
Putin & Russia want you
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool
California makes you the nominee?
That’ll be the day we’ll hear the whole country wail
Tried to warn you
About Timmy and Hillary
But we can’t seem to get through to you that you will fail
Well, I hear your babble but I don’t know
You’re gonna build a Wall ‘round Mexico?
We said oh no
Donald & Michael won’t do
Well, who did not think the churl
Could be so cruel?
And we’re never gonna vote
For this Orange Fool

This is not, mercifully, a Steely Dan parody as such (no-one does that in my presence, Donald Fagen is God, d'you hear) but makes clever use of a great Dan song to have a real go at Trump. Some of the verbal correspondences with the original are very smart. I can't give it a top "funny" rating though: the matters it deals with are no laughing matter.
