JUN 30, singable satire: "AREN'T YOUR ETHICS LOW?"

Scene from "The Elephant Show"

ORIGINAL PARODY-LYRICS

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS: "Do Your Ears Hang Low?", around 1900, likely a sanitized version of a bawdy, nonsensical campfire song, with some similarity to "Turkey in the Straw". The tune is now most familiar as a children's novelty song, as performed by Sharon, Lois and Bram, and others. (Check out their You-tubed version HERE.)

PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, July, 2025,and performed at the Ukes of York uke-jam shortly thereater.

AREN'T YOUR ETHICS LOW?

 (to the tune of "Do your Ears Hang Low?")

                                                                        

Are your ethics low, unlike Kamala and Joe?

The DOJ* 's got photo-pics and piles of video. 

If released, corroboration could cause MAGA** consternation -- ,

Drive poll-ratings low.

Are your standards low? Friendly pedophiles you know

Have bestowed conspiring theorists with rumors that will flow -- 

MAGA-loyalists hoped Dems would crowd Jeff's "list", and steal the show. 

Are your ethics low?   

Are your moral precepts low? Nasty pederasts you know

Seen in birthday cards and photo-files and piles of video. 

At some parties you were host; bimbos aged eighteen at most.  

Are your standards low?

Are your moral standards low? It's "fake news", we hear you crow: 

"Files concocted by James Comey, and Hillary and Joe."  

So get Congress dismissed early, and avoid the hurly-burly.

Aren't your precepts low?

* Department of Justice (US)

** make America great again, slogan for the loosely defined Trump-controlled  Republican Party
