38. "Escape (the Pina Colada song)"
Thu Dec 5, 2024, 03:20 PM
Thursday

I improved it by changing it to apply to Trump:

If you hate subpoena coladas
Getting caught and arraigned
If you're full into MAGA
If you have half a brain...

If you like stealing docs at midnight
But need help when you're caught
I'm the lawyer you've looked for
Write to me and I'm bought.
