"Oh, Lift the Cloud"

"Investigations

Get in the way.

How sad! They turn

My bright sky gray.

Some things are better

Not to know.

That's what I learned

Long, long ago.

 

(CHORUS)

"Oh, lift the cloud

That's over my head.

Come on, let's put

This baby to bed.

My loyal lackeys

All make me proud.

So will you, too,

If you lift this cloud.

 

"Oh, I can fire

Whoever I choose.

Then you can watch

It on the news.

Or you can read

It in my tweet.

Sometimes life

Is bittersweet.

 

(CHORUS)

"Oh, lift the cloud

That's over my head.

Come on, let's put

This baby to bed.

My loyal lackeys

All make me proud.

So will you, too,

If you lift this cloud.

 

"About Putin…

Well, he's no threat.

The only thing

That I regret

Is that I couldn't

Make people see

That Putin's been

Very good to me.

 

(CHORUS)

"Oh, lift the cloud

That's over my head.

Come on, let's put

This baby to bed.

I hope you do

What makes me proud.

You'll be my friend

If you lift this cloud."
