lyrics

BITCH HEAVEN
Gerry Spehar & Lindsey Smith

Well, Old Man Trump and Woody was close, but not
See, Old Man Trump was a bigot and Woody was hot
So Woody laid the wood to Old Man Trump
Shined a little light on his real estate dump
Called Beach Haven, or Bitch Heaven per Woody

Now, Old Man Trump had money and Woody had song
And which one do you think you get to take along
My money's on Woody and his little wood box
You can have Old Trump and his bucket of pox
Yeah, I'm takin' Woody and you can have Old Man Trump

I'm taking Woody to the end of my days
Ain't no amount of money Old Man Trump can pay
Would change my mind, turn this ship around
I'm backin' Woody, I'm takin' solid ground

Now, way up in Heaven Saint Peter he saw the fight
And he went to the book and saw Old Woody was right
So when Old Man Trump and Woody
Showed up at the Pearly Gate
Which one do you think got in and which one the other fate

I'm taking Woody to the end of my days
Ain't no amount of money Old Man Trump can pay
Gonna change my mind, turn this ship around
Yeah, I'm takin' Woody cause he's standin' on moral ground

That's right, Pete sent Old Trump to Bitch Heaven where he belongs
And he sent his money with him and he kept Old Woody's songs
And he told Old Trump you spend it down there in Hell; spend it well
Cause up here in Heaven Old Woody he's ringing the bell
Yeah, up here in Heaven Woody's singing and ringing the bell

Singing this land is your land, this land is my land
It ain't Old Trump's land, this land is our land
From California to North Carolina
This land was made for you and me
Yeah, this land was made for you and me; not old Trump
