SING IT to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

My dear husband just got arrestedWhile being at work for the dayThey say he is no longer legal
And now they will send him away Bring back, bring back
Please bring back my darling to me, to mePlease don’t send him off
To another country My daughter got pulled from her studies While she was sitting in classShe tried to show them her visa They said it would no longer pass Bring Back, bring backBring back my sweet daughter to me, to mePlease don’t send her away And throw out the key We need to start paying attention Before things even get worseThis isn’t a government for usIt’s actions are more like a curse Bring back, bring back Bring back the country we love, we loveImpeach the traitor And give his fat ass a big shove If you want to get rid of a migrant We have a suggestion for youWe do know a person worth sending We think that Melania will do Send back, Send back Oh let’s send Melania today, todayShe killed the Rose Garden So please let us send her away
