Don’t know why

They should find a case to try

From Stormy Daniels:

Wish I’d had a jury full of spaniels.

But none of them let me buy ‘em.

(Tum-tum-yah-ta-ti-tah)

They were smart

I wish I’d had knocked those jurors

Off the panels.

Using all my friends in the right channels.

Not going down for crime (wah-wah)

Not serving any time.

I paid her off to say that she had never met me

Now she’s back and everybody’s out to get me

Now I’ve got to hope that all the courts will let me

In the White House again.

When I’m there

I’ll have a lifetime free of care from

Mattters stormy.

No more legal worries ever for me.

Pardon myself for all crime

Not guilty and for all time.
